Move Over Shakespear, Actors Recreate Star Trek classics outdoors in Trek in the Park - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

A balmy summer night in Woodlawn Park: Dogs barking, a pickup baseball game, parents chasing kids. In the distance, a synthesizer hums a familiar theme song. A man in a 23rd century Starfleet uniform -- black boots, mustard-colored shirt, triangular insignia -- strides through a makeshift doorway.

"Space, the final frontier," he intones to an imaginary audience. "These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. ..."

And these are the cheesy lines, short-short skirts and futuristic gadgetry of "Trek in the Park," which begins tonight and runs over three consecutive weekends. The actors are re-creating the "Star Trek" episode "Amok Time," one of the best-known from the late 1960s TV series' second season. It's the one where Spock battles Kirk as part of a bizarre Vulcan mating ritual and gets all emotional when he realizes he hasn't really killed him.
