December 5 - December 21, 2025

The incredible true story of soldiers who had the courage to affirm their common humanity on a remarkable Christmas Day.

A return holiday engagement after the smash-hit film production.

The Western Front, Christmas, 1914. Out of the violence a silence, then a song. Amid the combat, a German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing “Stille Nacht.” Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, peace. A remarkable true story, told in the words and songs of the men who lived it.

“A beautiful musical recounting of a World War I cease-fire of gifts, poetry, and melody.” — The New York Times
