STAR TREK – Live Blasts Off At Kennedy Space Center This Summer
Debuting at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex this Summer is STAR TREK LIVE. This new interactive stage show begins on June 11, 2010 and is based on the popular science-fiction franchise. The show takes audiences on an exhilarating 30 minute journey offering an unforgettable live theatrical experience for fans of all ages. The show combines fun special effects, audience interaction and an exploration of real space-age technology.
STAR TREK LIVE introduces a world of discovery by combining science with entertainment to teach and encourage scientific literacy. Audience members join Starfleet Academy only to be unexpectedly whisked into an adventure steeped in the grand tradition of Star Trek. STAR TREK LIVE combines cutting-edge special effects, unmatched audience interaction, cool science and on-screen appearances from Captain Kirk and Spock themselves to create an exhilarating and unforgettable theatrical experience.
More eager to learn from Starfleet’s best and brightest, member cadets assemble, anxious to prepare for their first day at the Academy. As we are introduced to the Academy, the Earth itself comes under attack from a renegade Romulan, leaving the fate of the future itself in the hands of our cadets. Our cadets will have to quickly learn the intricacies of living and working in space, modern space travel and the latest in communication and technology as they draw on the achievements of science in the 21st century. It will require all their knowledge, ingenuity, logic and an exploration of science to discover what is happening and how to set things right before it’s too late!
Kennedy Space Center is located just a short 45 minutes drive east of Orlando and hosts more than 1.5 million guests from around the world.
