At Thingamajig Theatre Company, “All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914” is weaving its magic on stage.
It’s hitting its stride in week two, and audiences can’t stop talking about it. People applauded thoughtfully, saying it’s hitting all the right notes making it one of the fastest-selling seasonal shows in the company’s history.

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 retelling 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,” remarked Artistic Director Tim Moore. “Experiencing, through the medium of live theater, what these men’s Christmas was like in the trenches of ‘No Man’s Land.’ I’m 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.
