Secret Science Club is teaming up with Ensemble Studio Theatre on Saturday, March 29, for a special event!
Join us for a new play about chimp researcher Jane Goodall + a science talkback with primatologists after the show + refreshments
The play dramatizes the early months of 26-year-old Jane Goodall’s first expedition to study chimpanzees in Africa, an expedition that changed how we view what makes us human. There was one condition Jane had to fulfill before heading out on her expedition though. The Tanzanian government would only allow her to study chimps in the wild if she brought a chaperone. So, Jane invited her mother.
On Saturday, March 29, following the 2 PM matinee performance of Have You Met Jane Goodall and Her Mother?, the world premiere of this new comedy by Michael Walek, everyone is encouraged to stay for a talkback discussion and Q&A with historians and scientists about the cultural, historical, and scientific background of the play.
Have You Met Jane Goodall and Her Mother?, written by Michael Walek and directed by Linsay Firman, is the Spring 2025 mainstage production of the EST/Sloan Project, EST’s partnership with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to develop new plays “exploring the world of science and technology,” an initiative now in its 25th year.
Secret Science Club is thrilled to partner with EST for this special program!
Ensemble Studio Theatre is located at 545 West 52nd Street, 2nd floor (between 10th & 11th Avenues) in Manhattan. Get your tickets today!
This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
