Noted environmentalist Jane Goodall, known for her study of wild chimpanzees in Africa, will be traveling to Detroit's Fisher Theatre to provide a talk on her life experiences. An Evening with Jane Goodall will take place Monday, September 8, 2025 at 7:30 pm with ticket sales beginning on Friday, July 25 at broadwayindetroit.com. Tickets start at $56 and include parking and facility fees with admission.
On July 14, 1960, Jane arrived on the shores of Gombe in Tanzania to begin what became groundbreaking studies into the lives of wild chimpanzee communities. The discoveries that chimpanzees make and use tools forever changed our understanding of our relationship to 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 of 25 Jane Goodall Institutes which advance community-led conservation, animal welfare, care for rescued chimpanzees and other species, and ongoing wildlife research. In 1991 Jane founded her environmental and humanitarian program, Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots, which empowers young people of all ages to become involved in hands-on projects of their choosing. Jane Goodall’s Roots & Shoots began with 12 students in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and now it is a movement, active in 75 countries and counting.
Today at 91 years old, Jane remains active inspiring audiences worldwide through speaking tours, media engagements, written publications, and a wide array of film, television and podcast projects. Author of many books for adults and children, her latest publication “The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times,” has been translated into more than 20 languages.
