Another Holiday Show: The New York City Opera presents All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 with an all-male cast of 14, on Wednesday, Dec. 11 through Sunday, Dec. 11 at Sacred Heart University Community Theater in Fairfield. I was deeply moved when I saw the show in NYC. The story is familiar – British and German soldiers during WWI meeting on Christmas Day in “no man’s land” to share the greeting. This retelling is based on firsthand accounts and features traditional holiday and patriotic songs. The show truly captures the meaning of Christmas. For tickets visit SHUCommunityTheatre.org/buy-now. The theater is located in the center of Fairfield.

Award-Winning Musical: Come From Away is making a return visit to the Bushnell in Hartford, Tuesday, Dec. 20 through Saturday, Dec. 24.

It’s a great fit for the holidays – Come from Away tells a story of people and the community coming together to house and feed strangers stranded in their midst. For tickets visit Bushnell.org.
