    Theater Latté Da presents 'All Is Calm' at the Pantages

    By Ed Huyck | Published Mon, Dec 14 2009 10:58 am

    Theater Latté Da ends a successful 2009 with a revival of "All Is Calm," a look at the events and music of the Christmas Truce during the height of World War I in 1914.

    Presented along with vocal ensemble Cantus and the Hennepin Theatre Trust, "All Is Calm" brings one of the most remarkable wartime events of the 20th century to the stage. In 1914, during the first year of fighting in the "War to End All Wars," British and German soldiers along the frontline held an informal truce over Christmas ­ meeting and exchanging gifts and songs in No Man's Land and even playing a match of soccer ­ before their respective leaders put a stop to it. The show is told through the letters and recollections of those who where there and includes era-specific music along with traditional Christmas music.

    "All Is Calm" runs Dec. 17-20 at the Pantages Theatre, 710 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis. Tickets are $27.50 to $35. For information and tickets, call 1-800-928-2787 or visit online
