Thingamajig Theatre Company’s production of “All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914” has been weaving its magic on stage… and now has just three performances left: tonight, Wednesday December 27, and Thursday and Friday, December 28 and 29 at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts.
This retelling of the World War I ceasefire isn’t asking for medals, but it’s earned them. “A wonderful story and a terrific performance. A must-see show,” remarked one viewer, summing it up perfectly.
Others are chiming in, saying, “Amazing! If you want the real Christmas spirit, don’t miss this show.” Adding, they love how it cuts through the commercial noise.
And you won’t find boastful claims here; it’s more about quiet excellence. The production is a team effort, bringing together local pros like Gus Palma and Robert Neel with talents from across the country. It’s like they’ve been working together for ages, not just a couple of weeks.
The dedication of this ensemble, honestly re-telling these soldiers’ stories, creates something that goes beyond a typical holiday show. It’s not just about entertainment; it’s about allowing you to think and feel. Experiencing, through the medium of live theatre, what these men’s Christmas was like in the trenches of ‘No Man’s Land’. We’re grateful to present this piece for our community.
“All is Calm” offers a change of pace from contemporary holiday offerings, a chance to reflect on history and storytelling’s power. It’s a journey through time that continues to resonate with today’s world… coming together amidst our differences in the name of humanity and faith in the goodness of man.
So, why not step into this slice of history? Experience the show that’s leaving everyone talking long after the curtain call. Join in and let the echoes of peace stay with you this season.
ALL IS CALM: The Christmas Truce of 1914, directed by Andrew Barratt Lewis, playing at Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts through December 29.
