Rat Pack

Rat Pack

RAT PACK
Years ago a fan wrote us and said we should end our convention with an upbeat event, so we took that suggestion to heart and created the Rat Pack tradition we now all look forward to. This hilarious show travels back to the 1950s with our stars performing their version of the iconic Rat Pack, including song parodies written by ultra-talented Max Grodenchik. Along with Max, the Rat Pack also includes Ethan Phillips, Jeffrey Combs, Casey Biggs and Vaughn Armstrong. The event takes place after the conclusion of the convention on SUNDAY and is free to all attendees. Gold, Captains Chair and Copper patrons will retain their same seats.

Star Trek Movie Screening

Star Trek:The Voyage Home

After voting for which movie our fellow Trekkers want to see at the convention, we are pleased to host a FREE* screening of the top choice -- Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home!
Since its premiere in 1986, The Voyage Home – or as it is affectionately known as the “whale” movie – is a true fan-favorite. The story centers an alien presence who is hell-bent on destroying Earth. Admiral James T. Kirk (William Shatner) and his fugitive crew travel back in time to 1986 to retrieve the only thing that can communicate with the aliens and save the planet: humpback whales.

You don’t want to miss this memorable event (date/time TBD)!
*Convention pass is not required to attend the screening.

One of the highlights of STLV is the track of programming that focuses in on the science of Star Trek and real space sciences.  Whether you are new to the field or an expert, there is truly something to learn and enjoy as we welcome a world class range of impressive speakers to lead our discussions.  Make your plans now to be part of the informative fun!
