William Shatner comes to the Santander Performing Arts Center for an evening built around one of science fiction's most enduring films. The night begins with a screening of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, the feature that put Captain James T. Kirk face to face with an old adversary and gave the franchise some of its most quoted moments.

After the credits roll, Shatner takes the stage himself, telling stories from behind the scenes of a long career on television, in film, and beyond. His conversation is loose and often funny, and he opens the floor to questions from the audience, so the direction of the evening depends in part on who is sitting in the seats.

It is a natural fit for longtime Star Trek fans and for anyone curious to hear a working actor look back on decades of the business. The theater's downtown Reading location puts area restaurants and parking within easy reach before the show.
