Upstart theater company Atomic Arts reenacts classic Star Trek episode "Amok Time." (It's the one where Spock goes into heat and fights Captain Kirk TO THE DEATH!) Rather than imitate the tics of Shatner, Nimoy, et al., the solid Atomic Arts crew plays the characters as straight as they were originally written—and with a minimal set, cleverly designed props, and live music and sound effects, Trek in the Park is smart, hilarious, and the perfect thing to do on a summer afternoon.
