Photo Flash: ALL IS CALM: The Christmas Truce of 1914 at The Playhouse San Antonio

As the violence of the day fades, the silence of the night echoes at the war's front. A single German soldier steps out from the trenches and begins to sing, "Stille Nacht." On the Western Front of The Great War, Christmas of 1914 is one evening that is documented by the men who were actually there that cold evening of a terrible war. For a while, war was forgotten. Men stepped out and shared music and peace.

The Playhouse San Antonio will be performing ALL IS CALM: THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE OF 1914 beginning December 2 and playing until December 18 in the Russell Hill Rogers Theater. The cast includes Eric Buchaus, Kevin Collins, Lee Cushenbary, Aaron Ely, David Fenrich, Kyle Krambeck, David Nanny, Robert Nauman, Nicholas Ponting, Travis Trevino, John Towry, Robby Vance and Grantham Woods. The show is co-directed by George Green and Bill Gundry with Music Direction by Nicholas Ponting.
