Star Trek Costumes from Trek in the Park

This summer Atomic Arts put on an amazing free play here in Portland:

Atomic Arts is presenting a LIVE free performance of the classic Star Trek episode “Amok Time” at the Woodlawn Park amphitheater. Witness Mr. Spock undergo the bizarre and brutal Vulcan marriage ritual of PON FARR as the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise attempt to save him before it’s too late!!

Portland actors, accompanied by live music and effects, will bring this classic piece of television to life! Spend a day in the park, bring a picnic and BOLDLY GO!!

The costumes and sets were all handmade — very inspiring, especially with Halloween around the corner! Here’s an ensemble photo by Igal Koshevoy:

There are also lots more Trek in the Park photos on flickr and some videos up on YouTube.

We went to the final show, which was fantastic — and standing room only. Next summer they’ll be back with a new episode which was thrillingly previewed at the end of the show. If you’re in Portland or nearby, don’t miss it!

Super Mario Bros. Wario Costume

Wario Costume

Sometimes simple equals amazing, like this awesome Wario Costume that UpKnitCreek (love the screen name) posted on Craftster. She made it from purple, yellow and black fleece, polymer clay and “lots of love”, her husband even pitched in, making the nose and attaching the mustache to it. Pure geek Halloween gold.
