Star Trek is the revered sci-fi franchise that, for decades, has touched the hearts and minds of millions. In the meantime, Mad Science is a popular, award-winning producer of live, science-driven performances designed for kids and young adults alike. Put Star Trek and Mad Science together and BAM! You get Star Trek Live. Star Trek Live is a 30 minute interactive show that features a Star Trek themed story, live actors, special effects, modern-day science, and audience participation.
The Beauty of this show is that it can be enjoyed by kids ages seven to fifteen, and also entertain their parents and Star Trek newcomers. This show is not necessarily targeted at “hardcore” Star Trek fans; however, the producers put a lot of focus and detail into certain elements to make sure that the show would resonate with the dedicated fans.
Possibly the most unique element of Star Trek Liv
e is the integration of current science. Leonard Lipes, the managing director and vice president of production at Mad Science said; “I love the combination of real science and technology that relates directly to Star Trek juxtaposed with technology that allows us to portray that effect for theatrical purposes. Put all of that together, and I think we’re all very proud of Star Trek Live.”
Star Trek Live will be at Mesa Arts Center November 20, 2011 at 1:00 and 3:30 p.m. in the Piper Repertory Theater. Hope to see you there!
