All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914

Returning for a second year, Spreckels Theatre Company proudly presents a deeply moving holiday event with All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914. This special, one-weekend-only production will run from December 12 to December 14, 2025, bringing to life this extraordinary true story of camaraderie and peace that emerged during the early days of World War I.

Set on Christmas Eve in 1914 along the Western Front, this production tells the remarkable tale of how, amidst the horrors of war, a song and a simple act of good will sparked an incredible night of peace. As a German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing “Stille Nacht,” soldiers from opposing armies spontaneously set aside their weapons, share songs and stories, and unite in a brief, but unforgettable, truce. It’s a poignant reminder of the shared humanity that transcends even the most bitter of conflicts.
