Tribbles at the Fringe!

You heard right! There will be Tribbles everywhere at this year’s Adelaide International Festival Fringe from March 8 to March 18, 2006.

The Unseen Theatre Company of Adelaide are performing, live on stage, the classic 60s Star Trek episode “The Trouble with Tribbles”. To compliment the production, members of the Shuttle Mawson will be curating an exhibition of rare Star Trek memorabilia at the Bakehouse Theatre (255 Angas St, Adelaide), the home of the Unseen Theatre Company, for the duration of the Fringe Festival. Book tickets now!
Those that decide to attend will get, not one, but two productions for the price of one. The theatre company will perform, after a short intermission, another production called “Vexations with Vulcans”, loosely based on the classic episode “Journey to Babel”.

- Competition Winner! -
The Shuttle Mawson Sci Fi Fan Club competition for a double pass to Opening Night on March 8. has been won by: Marlene W.
Many thanks to Unseen Theatre for donating this great prize.

- About Stuart Blair -
Since 2004, Stuart Blair has been actively rejuvenating the Sci Fi Event calendar in Adelaide, South Australia.

He took over as President of the UFP (special interest Star Trek group) with a total of 25 loyal club members, and within two years, had increased UFP club membership to over 150 club members Australia- wide with over 60 members attending monthly at the club’s headquarters in Adelaide.

Stuart was instrumental in bringing, not one, but two, Sci Fi conventions to Adelaide in 2005 with large attendances at both shows. As organiser and MC of Terra Nova events in 2005, Stuart received praise at the highest level from the Premier of South Australia, the Hon. Mike Rann MP, who officially opened the convention, lending his support to events like this.

Stuart curated the Star Trek Exhibition that was a featured event of National Science Week at the South Australian Museum, attracting over 26,000 people over nine days with activities as diverse as lessons in conversational Klingon, a sci fi film festival and “costumed” guided tours of the two-floor exhibition.

After two highly successful years as President of the UFP, Stuart has recently launched his latest endeavour, the Shuttle Mawson, an online sci fi fan club, as part of the Starfleet (official Star Trek fan association) organisation.
