‘All Is Calm’ To Play In Spokane

“All is Calm” is transferring – for one night, at least – from Coeur d’Alene to Spokane. The dramatic musical, which focuses on the Christmas Eve truce of 1914, during World War I, will play on Christmas Eve at the Bing Crosby Theater – the 100th anniversary of the real-life event. The play, being staged now at the Modern Theater Coeur d’Alene, features Daniel Bell, Jim Swoboda, Zach Baker and Henry McNulty among the nine-man cast. It’s performed a capella, with each actor playing multiple roles of Allied and German soldiers stationed along the Western Front. The story is told through their letters, journal entries and memories, with songs throughout. The play will begin at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 24, and doors will open at 6 p.m. Tickets will range from $15 to $5 and will be available Monday through all TicketsWest outlets, by calling (800) 325-SEAT or online at www.ticketswest.com/ Carolyn Lamberson , SR.
