Produced by Mad Science Productions, under a license from CBS Consumer Products, "Star Trek Live" introduces a world of discovery by combining science with entertainment to teach and encourage scientific literacy. In the show, the audience takes the role of new Starfleet cadets assembled for the first day at Starfleet Academy, led by its best and brightest. The new cadets have to learn quickly the intricacies of living and working in space, modern space travel and the latest in communication and technology. "Star Trek Live" combines fun special effects, audience interaction, cool science and on-screen appearances from Captain Kirk and Spock themselves to create an exhilarating and unforgettable theatrical experience.

"NASA and Star Trek have a long, parallel history together, and we hope to inspire visiting families with the fun and educational story of space exploration through this engaging stage show," said Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Chief Operating Officer Bill Moore. "A sense of science has been given to science-fiction through Star Trek, and NASA transforms this incredible journey into reality."

"Star Trek Live" is presented a minimum of three times daily at the 300-seat Astronaut Encounter Theater.
