Celebrating 60 Years of Star Trek at the Brook Arts Center

This September, the Brook Arts Center becomes a destination for fans ready to celebrate six decades of Star Trek—a franchise that has shaped science fiction, inspired generations, and boldly gone where few stories have gone before. On Saturday, September 12, the historic theater hosts a special fan event built around the screening of Star Trek: The Motion Picture — The Director’s Cut, complete with guest appearances and an afternoon of Trek‑filled excitement.

Doors open at 1:00 PM, inviting fans to gather early, meet representatives from the Avenger chapters, and soak in the atmosphere before the feature presentation. It’s a chance to reconnect with fellow Trekkies, share memories, and celebrate the enduring legacy of a universe that continues to expand 60 years after its debut.

Adding to the experience, Star Trek actor Steven Lance will join fans for a talk‑back session, offering behind‑the‑scenes stories and personal reflections from his time within the Star Trek universe. His presence brings a direct connection to the franchise’s history—an ideal complement to the anniversary celebration.

The event also features Chubbsy, a veteran entertainer, published author, and dynamic on‑air personality known for commanding massive audiences. From electrifying crowds at the New Jersey State Fair to interviewing political figures and entertainment icons on a rapidly growing broadcast platform, Chubbsy brings energy, humor, and a devoted fanbase to every stage he steps onto.

At 3:00 PM, the lights dim and the big screen comes alive with Star Trek: The Motion Picture — The Director’s Cut, giving fans the chance to experience the film in a way that honors its cinematic scale and visionary ambition.

Part screening, part fan gathering, part anniversary celebration—this event is a tribute to the stories, characters, and creators who have kept Star Trek thriving for 60 years. Come early, enjoy the festivities, meet fellow fans, and make an afternoon of it at the Brook Arts Center, where the final frontier feels a little closer to home.
