Jane Goodall Comes To Kings Theatre, September 30

For one night only, world-renowned ethologist and activist Dr. Jane Goodall will take the stage at Kings Theatre, speaking about her work and life and answering audience questions on Saturday, September 30, 2023 at 3pm ET.

Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) and UN Messenger of Peace, is a world-renowned ethologist and activist inspiring greater understanding and action on behalf of the natural world. Dr. Goodall is known for groundbreaking studies of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania, which forever changed our understanding of our relationship with the rest of the animal kingdom.

This transformative research continues today as the longest-running wild chimpanzee study in the world. Jane's work builds on scientific innovations, growing a lifetime of advocacy, including trailblazing efforts through her international organization, the Jane Goodall Institute, which advances community-led conservation, animal welfare, science, and youth empowerment through JGI's Roots & Shoots program.

Today, Jane connects with worldwide audiences in person and through 'Virtual Jane,' Including remote and live, sold-out lectures, recordings, and her podcast, the "Jane Goodall Hopecast." Jane received the Templeton Prize recently, and her latest book, "The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times," was published. Inspired by Jane's life, in 2023, the Apple TV+ "Jane" Garcia series was launched to connect young people globally with their ability to make a difference through programs like Jane Goodall's Roots & Shoots.

Additionally, "Jane Goodall's Reasons for Hope" IMAX film premiered in Spring 2023 in dozens of venues across North America with a future global footprint. Jane is a worldwide icon spreading hope and turning it into a meaningful positive impact to create a better world for people, other animals, and the planet we share.

The historic Kings Theatre reopened in 2015 as one of New York's premier performing arts venues. Providing a destination for large-scale popular entertainment and serving as a resource for local arts groups and community organizations, Kings is a cultural and economic cornerstone of the Flatbush community and a major fixture to Brooklyn's vibrant cultural landscape. The classic 20th-century movie palace was inspired by the French Renaissance Revival style of the Palace of Versailles and the Paris Opera House. With over 3,000 seats—the largest of its kind in Brooklyn, the restoration revived the historic structure's original splendor and transformed the theatre into a state-of-the-art facility. Kings Theatre is operated by Ambassador Theatre Group.

Tickets will go on sale Friday, August 18 at 10am ET, with presales beginning Wednesday, August 16 at 10am ET. For tickets and additional information, please visit https://www.kingstheatre.com/events/jane-goodall/.
