Start Trekkin' was an improvised longform narrative show inspired by the original Star Trek television series.

History

Start Trekkin' was an early mainstage show at The Hideout Theater, and one of the first "improvised <blank>" formats in Austin. It had six mainstage runs and a performance at a Las Vegas Star Trek convention, before running as half of The Sci-Fi Comedy Double Feature in early 2011.

The people involved in Start Trekkin' refer to their runs as "seasons".

Season six ran at The Highball; all other seasons ran at The Hideout Theatre.
