About this Event
This performance at John P. Franklin Funeral Home invites you to remember differently—to look beyond Pleasant Garden Cemetery as a final resting place and recognize it as a living record of Black Chattanooga history.
Dive into 12 captivating performance monologues that bring history and stories to life in a place where many people mourned their loss decades ago.
Through storytelling, performance, and remembrance, Chattanooga legends will have the opportunity to speak again—sharing stories shaped by love, perseverance, sacrifice, faith, community, and an unwavering commitment to a place they called home.
Don't miss out on this unforgettable event!
This unique opportunity to connect with untold stories of historic Chattanoogans through Beneath the Stones is brought to you by the Tennessee America 250: Voices and Volunteer grant fund.
The show also runs in two other locations. One will be at Barking Legs Theater on October 18, and the other will be live at Pleasant Garden Cemetery on October 25.
