Silent Night running December 2-4 8pm, and 5th at 2:00 pm at Artistic Civic Theatre.

It is December of 1818. The small Austrian village of Oberndorf bei Salzburg has seen war, poverty and flooding. Now, in the midst of a blizzardy cold winter, an assistant priest and a poor schoolmaster strive to lift the spirits of the congregation of St. Nicholas Church with a special Christmas Eve program. But more problems ensue. The ailing church organ is destroyed through a misunderstanding by the schoolmaster’s autistic son, Nicholas, who then runs away from home. Within this turmoil, the schoolmaster and priest come together to produce the world’s most beloved Christmas song, Silent Night.
