Umpqua Actors Community Theatre presents: All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914, opening on Friday.

The scene is set on the Western Front when out of the violence of World War I, there is silence, then a song. A German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing, “Stille Nacht”. That begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music and peace.

All is calm is a remarkable true story in the words and songs of the men who lived it.

Performances are Friday and Saturday nights at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2:00 p.m. through December first. Then the schedule shifts to Mondays through Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. from December 9th through December 18th.

Tickets are $17 for adults and $13 for children, ages 10 and under. Purchase tickets in advance by going to: https://www.uact-theatre.com/
