“All Is Calm” Highlights Peace On Earth BY CATHY MOLITORIS
hen Susquehanna Stage first performed “All Is Calm” five years ago, the cast wasn’t sure how the audience was reacting to the 80-minute show. “There really isn’t a break in the action, and there’s no intermission, so the audience was very quiet,” recalled Jim Johnson, who is directing the show again this year. “We were wondering what they thought, and then when it ended, they just burst into applause.” The show was so well received, in fact, that all performances sold out from word of mouth after opening night. “All Is Calm” will run at Susquehanna Stage, 133 W. Market St., Marietta, from Friday, Dec. 3 through Sunday, Dec. 12. Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 3, Saturday, Dec. 4, Thursday, Dec. 9, Friday, Dec. 10 and Saturday, Dec. 11. Performances will be at 2 p.m. on Dec. 11 and 12, and at 7 p.m. on Sunday,

Dec. 5. Featuring an all-male cast of 12, the show tells the true story of a Christmas truce struck between the German and Allied soldiers at the start of World War I in 1914. “On Christmas Eve, the troops came together, shared stories, played a soccer game and celebrated Christmas,” explained Steve Sturgis, who performs in the show. He added that the peace ended the next day when the war resumed. The conflict continued for another four years. The story of “All Is Calm” is told through actual letters from soldiers, making it an emotional experience, said performer Rob Hein. “There’s a poignancy to this show,” he remarked. “These events actually happened, so to be able to share the stories of these soldiers is very moving.” His castmate Clint Burdick agreed, adding, “It’s an honor to tell their stories. There’s laughter and there’s sadness in this show. It’s a show full of emotions.” See Peace pg 4

Winterfest Understanding Where We Come From Will Kick Off Earlier this year, Amy Diaz had The Holidays an idea. The senior at Donegal High BY CATHY MOLITORIS
“This is a great family-friendly event to help kick off the holiday season,” said Dave Schell, executive director of Main Street Mount Joy, describing Winterfest. “Come downtown and do some early Christmas shopping at our downtown stores and vendors. … It’s a fantastic event to discover something new downtown.” Winterfest will be held on Saturday, Dec. 4, from 4 to 7 p.m. along See Winterfest pg 2
Members of the Cultural Awareness Team at Donegal High School include (from left) Neville Ncube, Amy Diaz, Sariah Marrero and Sophia Ortiz.
School recalled talking about the importance of celebrating culture during February, Black History Month, when inspiration struck. “I thought we needed more recognition of culture and ethnicity in our school and that this could be a good thing to bring us all together,” she said. “So, I brought the idea to my friends.” Amy and her friends formed the Cultural Awareness Team, and the group began meeting as an unofficial school club. They organized a schoolwide culture fair in April. See Understanding pg 3
