“Could it really have happened like this? If all the troops all along the line had refused to fight, on both sides, would the war have ended there and then?” Based on a real event during World War I, this family-friendly musical uses letters and diaries from over 30 soldiers, World War I poetry, and official war documents to retell events from the perspective of the men who lived it.

Preview performances are just $28 for any available seat in the house! These previews are full performances with all the bells and whistles, full costumes, props, etc., with the last important element finally added: YOU. That's right- before we officially "open" the show, we offer previews to see how an audience reacts to each moment. Your laughter, gasps, sniffles, and applause are invaluable to helping us hone just how long to hold for laughter after a joke, or remain in a tableau before the next song, before opening night. Thank you for being our first audiences!

Preview Nights: Dec. 3, 4, and 5 at 7:00 pm
