DESCRIPTION:Dillard University Theatre Celebrates 90th Season With World Premiere of *Fever*\, a Powerful New Play on the 1853 Yellow Fever Epidemic\n  \nMedia Contact: \nTara G. Cunningham\nDirector of Communications\ntcunningham@dillard.edu\n504-816-4204 \nPerformances: \n\nFebruary 14\, 15\, 21\, 22\, 2025 @ 7:30 PM\nFebruary 16\, 23\, 2025 @ 3:00 PM\nCook Theatre\, Dillard University\n\nNew Orleans\, LA – Dillard University Theatre proudly presents the world premiere of FEVER\, a gripping new play by Carolyn Nur Wistrand\, as part of its historic 90th season. Directed by Ray Vrazel\, the production runs February 14–16 and 21–23\, 2025\, on the Main Stage of Cook Auditorium. Tickets are on sale now. \nAbout FEVER\nSet in the summer of 1853\, during the deadliest Yellow Fever epidemic of the 19th century\, FEVER brings to life the legendary Marie Laveau at the height of her power. As the Vieux Carré succumbs to disease\, Laveau tends to the sick with her renowned herbal remedies\, even as doctors resort to ineffective and often dangerous treatments. But when her own daughter\, Philomène\, falls ill\, Marie faces a crisis that shakes her belief in her own power—one that summons the presence of Baron Samedi\, the Haitian god of the cemetery. \nBlending historical events with mystical realism\, FEVER reimagines the life of a misunderstood icon\, portraying Marie Laveau not just as a myth\, but as a real woman grappling with faith\, fear\, and resilience during one of the darkest chapters in New Orleans history. \nThis original production is supported in part by the Sherri Marina Memorial Grant. \nFEVER is rated R for content and language. \nPerformance Schedule\n\nFriday\, February 14\, 2025 – 7:30 PM\nSaturday\, February 15\, 2025 – 7:30 PM\nSunday\, February 16\, 2025 – 3:00 PM\nFriday\, February 21\, 2025 – 7:30 PM\nSaturday\, February 22\, 2025 – 7:30 PM\nSunday\, February 23\, 2025 – 3:00 PM\n\n Tickets and Info >>
