Theater Arts Caltech Presents Boldly Go!, a Musical Parody Based Upon Star Trek

Theater Arts Caltech presents Boldly Go!, a musical parody based upon Star Trek. Boldly Go! follows the intrepid crew of the Starship Enterprise, along with some new characters, on an exciting and hilarious adventure.

Assumptions will be confronted, paradigms challenged, alliances tested, and new contacts made ­ whether for good or ill as yet to be seen. And it¹s all set to a side-splitting tour de force of musical mayhem! While having fun with the sometimes farcical aspects of science fiction and parodying Star Trek, this new show also satirizes the musical theater genre. Boldly Go! is written by brothers Cole Remmen (University of Minnesota Theatre Arts Senior) and Grant Remmen (Caltech theoretical physics graduate student).

The Caltech world premiere, featuring a talented cast from the Caltech and Jet Propulsion Lab communities, is being directed by Theater Arts Caltech director Brian Brophy (Star Trek TNG; Shawshank Redemption; PhD Comics 2). At its core, Boldly Go! is a story about being true to oneself and one’s convictions, about friendship and love, about discovery and wonder, about the triumph of the individual over adversity, about the needs of the many, and about the joy of sharing with each other and the audience this vast and mysterious Universe.
