An innocent suggestion of watching Star Trek: The Next Generation for the first time quickly turned into obsessively delving into the entire Star Trek universe.
Every series. Every season. Every film.
Then came the Las Vegas convention.
These are the voyages of Polly Esther, her ongoing mission to explore this strange new world and how this universe has helped her boldly go forward in her journey as a recovering alcoholic.

Don’t be confused by the playful title. This is a terrific show with a captivating actor recounting in riveting fashion her troubled life and how she has managed to find hope and salvation, partially through her affection for TV & Cinematic SciFi, particularly the Star Trek universe. At times, Polly brings herself (and her audience) to the verge of tears. Then she warms you by relating how she overcame a lifetime of challenges.
This is one piece of Fringe/Theatre, you will never forget. Ms Esther is about to end a year of touring so this may be your only chance to see her. This is a tiny venue and you don’t want to miss out, so arrive early.
