Christmas in the Trenches: A Play Reading

In these challenging times, when war and deprivation are inflicted on families around the world, we all witness and experience the suffering and wonder why?

We join together in this performance & holiday sing-a-long to remember that peace and communion are still and always in the hearts and minds of our fellow citizens everywhere.

We all want to be in our warm homes celebrating the holidays with our loved ones. But for many this is still not possible.

For all who are, still, today, living and dying in the midst of conflict and pain, we offer this story of the unofficial, spontaneous truce between British & German troops which took place on the Western Front during Christmas 1914 when entrenched British and German soldiers met in no man's land and exchanged gifts, shared rations, took photographs and some even played impromptu games of football together.

Please join and share with us in song and hope.

Live music will accompany the performance.

Opening Night: Saturday, December 14, 2024 @ 6:30 PM. Tickets are $20 Adult, $10 Students (age 13+). FREE for veterans, active-duty military, and kids 12 & under.
