Playhouse Park performances of All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914
This is a film of the play. This play was originally scheduled to be produced by Playhouse Theatre Group, Inc. live at Playhouse on Park. As a result of guidelines put forth by Governor Ned Lamont and out of concern for the safety of our staff, cast, and crew, the play was filmed outdoors without the presence of a live audience. All involved in the making of the film of this play were required to adhere to an extensive safety plan.
A remarkable true story from the Western Front. All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 relives an astounding moment in history; in a silence amid the combat, a soldier steps into no man’s land singing “Silent Night.” Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie between the Allied troops and German soldiers. They lay down their arms to celebrate the holiday, share food and drink, play soccer, and sing carols. This dramatic retelling weaves together firsthand accounts of World War I soldiers with patriotic tunes, trench songs, and Christmas carols.

VOCES8 Foundation Choir & Orchestra perform ROSE EVER BLOOMING via Live From London
Join VOCES8 and friends as they celebrate the season with a selection-box of beautifully sung carols and songs from across Europe and the USA. Learn more about all streamed programming available at Live From London.
Rose Ever Blooming is a new Christmas oratorio by composers Jocelyn Hagen and Timothy C. Takach that honours the role of Mary in the story of Jesus, celebrating the strength of family and the enduring bond between mother and son. Inspired by the poetry of Patricia Monaghan, the work interweaves twelve of her poems with traditional carols, illuminating Mary’s humanity and portraying her as a reluctant hero reflecting on her life from the Annunciation to her own Beatitudes. Conducted by Barnaby Smith and performed by the VOCES8 Foundation Choir & Orchestra, this beautifully crafted work explores the divine and the everyday through a profoundly human lens. The performance was filmed at the recording sessions at St Jude-on-the-Hill, Hampstead Garden Suburb, capturing the warmth and spiritual intimacy of this remarkable new addition to the Christmas repertoire.
