Hello Earth is presenting its Outdoor Trek production this weekend, doing the episode “The Naked Time.”
Shows are Saturday, August 7, at 7:00 p.m. and Sunday, August 8, at 2:00 p.m. at Dr. Blanche Lavizzo Park (2100 S Jackson St, at the north end of the park by Yesler Way), and they’re free.
It looks like fun!
I went last weekend. An underplayed-in-the-PR selling point is that Kirk and Spock are played by women, which was interesting. It was good, and also very funny.
I need to go.
Oh, you bet I’ll be there…Naked Time with an assimilation twist!!!
Well sure it’s “fun” until the lawyers from Paramount get wind of it and string them up by their nether bits…
Oh, and didn’t these kids totally swipe this idea from a group out of Portland?
(Or would it be fair to say THAT group swiped the idea of doing live-action “Star Trek” from Seattle’s Aha! Theatre?)
See, this is the reason why the younger generation hates old people like me: we remember shit you kids never even heard of…
(Oh, and HOLY FUCK! The SPIT Awards – ah, those were the days my friend…)
Oh mans, after watching that little teaser on their blog I gotta see this!
Given that most of the kids in Portland were probably still in middle school in 1995, I’m going to guess that they didn’t rip it off. In addition of course, they were (apparently, based on google searches of media) doing a reproduction of the episode straight, not an original Star Trek based work like AHA! Take that, COMTE! I o0ut curmudgeoned ya!
