Humanity is on trial. And Q is the judge.

Celebrate six decades of Star Trek with John de Lancie, who resurrects his iconic character Q and puts humanity to the test through the music, stories, and ideas that have shaped the Star Trek universe.

From the first steps into space to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, 60 Years of Star Trek provides the case, bringing familiar themes from across the franchise together with brand-new orchestral works by composer Nick DiBerardino. Inspired by iconic characters, episodes, and big ideas, the music becomes the evidence Q will use to judge us.

With Q leading the way, expect stories, humour, surprises and spectacular orchestral music as six decades of exploration and adventure unfold on stage.

Whether you are a lifelong Trekkie or simply love great stories and big cinematic sound, 60 Years of Star Trek & Beyond offers a new way to experience Star Trek.

Will humanity pass Q’s test? Come hear the case and decide for yourself.
