Historic Mounds Theatre Presents: “It’s An Honorable Life” – A Klingon Language Star Trek Fan Production This December!
Prepare for a nostalgic journey to seek out new civilizations! The Historic Mounds Theatre once again proudly presents “It’s An Honorable Life,” a Klingon language Star Trek fan production running from December 6th to December 22nd, 2024. This unique production combines the spirit of the holidays with the rich lore of Star Trek, offering fans an experience unlike any other.
In “It’s An Honorable Life,” audiences will witness the journey of Bailey (played by returning Klingon Jason Kruger), a Klingon cursed with a curious inability to die an honorable death and reach Stovokor. Guided by Q (Kari Elizabeth Godfrey) Bailey explores all the possible outcomes of his never-to-be hero’s death on his wife Mary (Liz Humensky), his arch-nemesis Potter (Dave Rand-McKay) and the other Klingons around him. This adaptation is sure to delight both Star Trek enthusiasts and those new to the franchise, blending humor, drama, and thought-provoking themes in a way only Klingons can.
