Improvised Star Trek
For ten years Improvised Star Trek explored the final frontier of comedy by turning Star Trek into an improv office comedy. Taking suggestions submitted on Twitter and Facebook, the cast (featuring some of Chicago’s top improvisors) creates a fully improvised episode detailing the adventures of the USS Sisyphus, a less enterprising starship. New episodes are posted every other week. Improvised Star Trek is a fan production. Star Trek is property of CBS.

Towels, and the war with the Klingon Empire, heat up when a bird-of-prey disables the Sisyphus, and Lt. King bonds with their young captain.

Improvised January 13, 2013 from suggestion by Nicholas Holt on Facebook.

HIchop! performed by Jen Usellis Mackay, translated by Robyn Stewart, Chris Lipscombe, Christopher Kidder-Mostrom, Jeremy Cowan, and Ali Kidder-Mostrom.
