The Western Front, Christmas, 1914. Out of the violence comes a silence, then a song. 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. The production features the talents of the Minneapolis-based cast who starred in the national broadcast and the highly-lauded Off-Broadway run, which earned the 2018 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience and will celebrate a return engagement following a National Broadcast on PBS in 2020.

This show runs approximately 65 minutes with no intermission.

Theater Latté Da is grateful for the generosity of our Production Sponsor,
The Thomas and Julianne Youngren Foundation.
