Dr. Jane Goodall, the legendary ethologist and activist who inspires a greater understanding and action on behalf of the natural world, will appear at the Fox Theatre on Sept. 11 for a one-night-only special event.

Tickets, which start at $39.50, are now on sale.

Dr. Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace, is world-renowned for her groundbreaking studies of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park in Africa, as well as her transformative research which continues today as the longest running wild chimpanzee study in the world. ​ 

When she was 26, Dr. Goodall followed her passion for wildlife and Africa to Gombe, Tanzania, where under the mentorship of paleoanthropologist Dr. Louis Leakey, began her landmark study. Her revelatory observation that chimpanzees make and use tools rocked the scientific landscape and forever redefined our understanding of the relationship between humans and other animals.

The talk will include stories from her inspirational life and the work she’s accomplished. Don’t miss this chance to spend an evening with a global icon who fights for a meaningful positive impact to create a better world for people, animals and the planet.
