The Western Front, Christmas, 1914. Out of the violence a silence, then a song. A German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing “Stille Nacht.” Thus begins an extraordinary time of camaraderie, music, and peace. A remarkable true story, told in the words and songs of the men who lived it.
“A beautiful musical retelling of a World War I ceasefire
with gifts of music, poetry, and melody.”
-New York Times
A note on ticket pricing for this show:
While NC Stage is a non-profit arts organization, we are also a business that pays actors, designers, directors, front of house teams, playwright performance rights, rent, insurance, and staff salaries, not to mention all the other things required to put on a play that you see – and don’t see – on stage. Our usual ticket pricing is determined by what it takes to support the people, stories, and spaces that define NC Stage.
Hurricane Helene has left our community struggling with different levels of recovery, grief, hope and determination. To make things as accessible to as many people as possible, we have made some changes to the ticket pricing for this show in the form of a sliding scale. If the lowest price ticket is still out of reach for you, please contact the box office. We want you here.
When you select tickets, you will have the opportunity to choose the level at which you can participate. Please consider what you feel works for you right now and make that selection. Audiences are the heart of the theatre and we look forward to sharing with you the remarkable history, music, and peace of All is Calm this holiday season.

Erick Lichte (Arranger) has been hailed by Washington Post for the “audacity” of his programming and noted by the Chicago Tribune for the “meticulous preparation” of his choirs. Fanfare Magazine declared that he created and helmed “the premier men’s vocal ensemble in the United States.”
As a founding member, singer and Artistic Director of the male vocal ensemble Cantus, Lichte created and sustained one of only two full-time vocal ensembles in the United States. His work with Cantus garnered the 2009 Margaret Hillis Award for Choral Excellence, the highest honour from the professional choral organization Chorus America.
In January 2013, he began his tenure as Artistic Director of Vancouver BC’s Chor Leoni Men’s Choir, one of the most active and popular amateur choirs in North America. His first recording with Chor Leoni, Wandering Heart, received a perfect five-star review from the UK’s prestigious Choir and Organ Magazine, and Oregon Arts Watch has declared that, under his leadership, Chor Leoni is now “one of the best male choirs on the continent.”
