On Christmas Eve 1914 in the cold trenches of World War I, something miraculous happened. A lone soldier stepped into no man’s land, lifted his voice in song and began this remarkable true story. In that no-longer-silent night, troops from both sides laid down their weapons for an extraordinary holiday celebration of music, feasting, and camaraderie.
In this powerful musical recounting of shared humanity in dark times, a 10-man a cappella chorus weaves together soldiers’ letters, poetry, and period songs - ranging from trench tunes to holiday carols - into an extraordinary holiday gift that is not to be missed.
The production is making its regional premiere.
