Friends of the BING and The Modern Theater - CDA are presenting "All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914" at the Bing, Christmas Eve, at 6:30 pm. This will mark the 100th anniversary, TO THE DAY, of this historic display of peace during WWI.

100 Years to the Day...

In 1914, at the Western front, out of the violence on Christmas Eve comes a silence, then a song. A German soldier steps into No Man's Land singing “Stille Nacht.” Thus began an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, and peace. All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 tells this remarkable story in the words and songs of the men who lived it. A select group of theaters was granted permission to perform this moving story on its 100th anniversary. The Modern Theater was among them.

Friends of the Bing is thrilled to bring the Modern's production to the stage of the Bing on the exact date of that magical night. Spend Christmas Eve at the Bing and see this celebration of the mysterious respite from the horrors of WWI when one small group of soldiers, for one night, truly believed in Peace on Earth.

The Spokesman Review said of The Modern Theater - Coeur d'Alene's production, “The show’s strongest number is its rendition of “Silent Night,” in which the singers solemnly repeat the line “all is calm” in a measured and powerful manner, like a haunting drumbeat."

Join Friends of the Bing and the Modern Theater Coeur d’Alene for this special encore performance at The Bing Theater, Christmas Eve Night at 6:30 pm. Doors open at 6:00 pm. Tickets are $15-25.
