The Salado High School Theatre Department will present scenes from The Christmas Truce by Phil Porter on May 5, 12, and 19 at 7 p.m. in the high school cafeteria.
The Christmas Truce was performed last year by the Royal Shakespeare Company in London and Salado’s contest premier was the American debut of the play.

The play is based on the historical, unofficial truce between World War I British and Germans at Flanders Field in December, 1914, in which soldiers shared gifts, food, and drink and played a soccer game together on Christmas Eve in the middle of “No Man’s Land.”

Members of the cast and crew include: Hayden Ebeling, Gabe Kane, Ashley Ruiz, William Macek, Cynthia Howell, Kelsey Marquis, Kaydee Free, Rayne Polkowski, Noah Barker, John Post, Payton Blisard, Casey Williamson, Sydney Blisard, Nathan Cahoon, Bobby Cunningham, Claire Manley, Rene Fillip, Paige Aydell, William Arnett, Timothy White, James Siwert, and Courtney Evans.

Salado was the alternate to state in a tiebreaker with Bay City this year at the regional contest in Corpus Christi. Salado One-Act Play (SOAP) has been to state seven times since 2003, winning two state championships (2010 and 2012) and placing in the top three in the state four times (2003, 2013, 2014, 2015).

SOAP is directed by J. J. Jonas, Kyra Mann, and Dixie Darling McCollough.

Public performances will have a $5 admission charge and are open to the public.
