Thingamajig Actors in Rehearsal for ‘All is Calm’

This poignant and powerful show will be performed at the Pagosa Springs Center for the Arts December 13-28.

The story opens as German soldiers initiate an informal truce by emerging from the infamous trenches of the war singing “Stille Nacht.”   For one extraordinary night, the shooting stops as the enemies enjoy camaraderie, music and peace in No Man’s Land.

Tickets for this miraculous holiday event are available at pagosacenter.org or 970-731-SHOW (7469).
