We can't quite think of a more Jane Fonda move: the award winning actress and climate activist is set to star in the premiere of Dear Everythng: A Musical Uprising for the Earth at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) for one night only on April 22—which is actually Earth Day.
Written by Tony Award winner V (formerly Eve Ensler) and directed by Tony Award winner Diane Paulus, the production is a folk-pop musical that will take over the venue's Howard Gilman Opera House "as an artistic response to our climate emergency," reads an official press release.
The story focuses on a fictional small town, where teenager Sophia rounds up friends to stop the adults from sacrificing nearby forests for money. Fonda will be narrating the production.
"Our planet is burning from human-made climate catastrophe, and we need to join together to confront this," Fonda said in an official statement about the show. "Dear Everything is about the power of solidarity and it gives us the anthems we need for the job."
The actress has never been shy about her position on climate issues. Back in 2022, for example, she founded the Jane Fonda Climate PAC, a political action committee that seeks to defeat fossil fuel-industry-backed politicians and instead elect "climate champions" at all government levels that will push for "bold climate action."
Tickets for Dear Everything: A Musical Uprising for the Earth, which start at $35, are currently available right here.
