Voices of Yellow Fever

Voices of Yellow Fever is a powerful theatrical experience that brings to life the true stories of Memphis’s yellow fever heroes. Through dramatic first-person narratives, historical figures who battled the deadly epidemics of the 1870s share their struggles, sacrifices, and acts of courage. Audiences will hear directly from doctors, nurses, clergy, and volunteers—many of whom gave their lives in service to the suffering. This moving performance honors their legacy and sheds light on one of the darkest and most heroic chapters in Memphis history.

This event begins at 5 pm on September 14th. We will meet in the Chapel at Elmwood Cemetery. Reservations are required; space is limited for this seated, indoor performance.
