All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 Audition Notice

All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 tells the remarkable true story of an extraordinary moment during World War I. In December 1914, soldiers fighting from opposing trenches along the Western Front began singing Christmas carols to one another. Eventually, some laid down their weapons and stepped into No Man's Land.

For a brief time, enemies became people again.

They exchanged gifts, shared food and photographs, buried their dead, sang together, and even played football before eventually returning to their trenches and to the war.

All Is Calm tells their story using the actual words of the soldiers who lived it, drawn from letters, journals, poems, and firsthand accounts, woven together with the songs they sang. Rather than following traditional characters and dialogue, the production is built through storytelling, music, movement, and ensemble performance.

We are looking for a diverse cast of storytellers to bring the magic of this true story to the stage.
