Theater Latté Da's Return Production of All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914
Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at 6:30AM
Preview performances of Theater Latté Da's production of All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 begin on November 24, with opening night scheduled for November 27. The show runs until December 27 at the historic Ritz Theater, 345 13th Avenue NE.
Created by Theater Latté Da's Founding Artistic Director Peter Rothstein, the production, which combines period songs and firsthand accounts of a remarkable historical event, has become a beloved holiday classic. The a capella production is brought to life by a cast of 10 actor-singers and beautifully blends iconic World War I-era tunes, trench songs, medieval ballads and Christmas carols from England, Wales, France, Belgium and Germany. The production features vocal arrangements by Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach with texts written by more than 30 World War I figures.
The 2026 production marks Theater Latté Da's first local mounting of the show in five years, and the 14th time it has presented All is Calm in the Twin Cities. Latté Da has also toured the work nationally, most recently in 2022. New to Minnesota audiences will be projections designed by Greg Emetaz, which Rothstein incorporated into the production for recent runs at Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota, FL.
All Is Calm premiered in December 2007 in a presentation and was also broadcast live on Minnesota Public Radio.
Since then, the show has enjoyed global success with broadcasts on five continents through American Public Media and the European Broadcasting Union. The work has won many awards including the Gold World Medal at the 2010 New York Festivals and the 2010 Gabriel Award, which honors works of excellence in broadcasting that serve audiences through the positive, creative treatment of concerns to humankind, and has been licensed and performed by theater companies, opera companies and choruses in 30 different states, Canada, Australia and Europe.
