ABOUT

Right Here, Right Now Theater (RHRN Theater) harnesses the transformative power of storytelling and performance to ignite both local and global responses to the climate crisis. Through compelling narratives, diverse voices, and performances by emerging and world-renowned actors, RHRN Theater raises awareness, advocates for equitable and sustainable solutions, and inspires urgent action to protect the most vulnerable. By bringing the stories of climate defenders - whose voices are too often silenced - to life on stage, we amplify their calls for justice and ensure they resonate worldwide.

In collaboration with UN Human Rights and the University of Oxford, RHRN Theater will spotlight nine powerful stories of hope and courage from frontline climate defenders during the 2025 Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit (June 4–7, 2025). These stories will be brought to life through dramatic first-person readings performed by renowned actors, amplifying voices that deserve to be heard.

RHRN Theater is currently working with UN Human Rights to collect compelling first-person accounts that embody:

• Dramatic experiences from climate defenders on the front lines.
• Unsung heroes whose extraordinary actions have had profound impacts.
• Courageous individuals who have taken personal risks to confront climate injustice.
