Ah klingon, language of art

I was actually in this last year. I sang the first verse of "Wild Thing" in Klingon.

I think they used to have the Klingon language village programs during the summer.

God bless us Trekkies, every one.

Onan, tell us more. Was it well received? How was the production itself?

And what resources were used to translate "A Christmas Carol" into Klingon?

just when one though a christmas carol had been done in evey way some one finds a new way to tell the story . and Dickens no doubt would have been a star trek fan. not to mention this thing proves kingon is becoming a force of its own.

Dammit. I knew about this, but I'd gotten the impression that it was one weekend only, and I was out of town. I'd love to see this!

Oh God. How did I miss this? The Mixed Blood Theater is within walking distance of my dorm, and I never even heard about it. I'll never live this down.

I was in this!! I was an Orion Slave Girl in the party scene. The show played for 12 nights and was well-attended. I'm so sad that so many people missed it!!

I actually created this. I used to be on the board of Commedia Beauregard, the theatre company that's producing this, and I suggested it as a joke. Well, they wrote it down.

After I quit, they produced it. I haven't seen a dime. Bastards.

Onan, I was the guy singing that with you last year! Small world, eh?

As husband to a cast member in this play, I did ushering one night as Kirk while my friend did a classic Klingon. This was a fun play!

Kahless? God...

Hey everyone.

Look. I know this has absolutely nothing to do with the article, here. But the holidays are coming up, and my conscience is getting the better of me.

So I just need to say this and get it over with, somewhere, even if it's off topic.

I've been expressing my opinions around here in a rather pompous sort of way for quite a while now, and I think I feel like coming out and admit that I've pretty much been trolling.

I've been taking my real opinions and such and purposefully exaggerating the hell out of them and being a real blowhard about them, mostly for the lulz.

I'm starting to think that I really should take it easy on that, and give it a rest, with being such a dick about everything I end up saying.

I've been a gigantic asshole and i'd just like to come clean, take responsibility and give it a rest, once and for all. I guess i'm just fucking angry about the world in general and act like a dick on here, because it makes me feel better about myself or inflates my own ego.

For what it's worth, I'm just going to stop trying to piss people off, get on the blog authors case over every thing, and insulting people and their tastes over everything.

Merry christmas, hapy holidays, and so forth, everyone. Peace on earth, goodwill towards man and all that stuff. I think I need to try to ease off and not be such a trolling dick all the time. It really doesn't help anything, anyway.

Peace.

Damn, Rob. I posted this vid in the Klingon Hamlet thread a few weeks ago.

I'd love to see an interview with the alums here.

You know....stuff like this makes me a bit embarrassed to be a trekkie. Oh well, I hope everyone had fun.

I'm the producer of this show. And, I wrote it with the help of Sasha Walloch. We translated it over a 6 month period the first time. Over this past summer it was revised to correct errors in the original text.

It sold out over half of the performances this year. There is a "Making of" documentary that was made last year. The production led to us being hired by Paramount to appear on the Star Trek VI Blu-Ray performing sections of "A Klingon Hamlet". And... we're taking it on tour next year.

Yes, it was Clarence's joke that spawned the idea.

The help of fan clubs has been essential, especially the IKV RakeHell of the Klingon Assault Group (some help has come from the Klingon Language Institute, too). However, it is important to note that this is a professional theatrical production, not just a bunch of nerds hanging out. Granted, we all have geek-cred of some sort, I'm sure... Hell, I wrote a play in Klingon!

Side thing... the guy who wrote that version of "Wild Thing" made the trip up from St. Louis to see the show on Opening night this year. He approved. Sorry he couldn't see you guys do it, Nick & Alex.

The Orion Dancing Girl was an awesome addition this year. I'm glad that Holly was able to do it.

And more than anything, I'm glad that this play makes our theatre company enough revenue to create work for TC artists every year.

Side thing: The word for "Home" in Klingon is "juH". What the Klingon phrase in the title says is "You, see these words, also!"

I made the opening night cake for Klingon Christmas Carol this year! (4' long Klingon Bird of Prey)

My husband and I aren't Trekkies at all, but OH MY GOD, this was the coolest thing we've ever seen!!

I love it when crazy ideas are not only seen through to fruition, but really expanded on, with great attention to detail. This show really took the cake (har!) for that. Amazing amount of work went into it, great attention to detail, and EVERYONE involved was awesome. Total sweethearts, and a ton of fun!

I posted a write up - with photos - on my blog, at http://www.celebrationgeneration.com/blog/2009/11/30/the-most-awesome-thing-in-the-history-of-awesomeness

Can't wait for next year!
