Dad's Garage's legendary show gets a remount! This scripted
comedy explores the eccentric, outlandish and yet exceptionally
human realm of sci-fi fandom. Luckily, here at Dad's
Garage, we have first-hand experience with this subject matter...
on account of the fact that we're all giant nerds! Get
ready for amazing musical numbers, "celebrity" sightings and
a ridiculous amount of references all rolled into one show!
Tickets for the final show are $19.50 online or $21.50 by
phone or at the door. The show lasts approximately
90 minutes with a 15-minute intermission. Purchase
your ticket on the web site linked below, then confirm your
attendance on the event page linked below. Costumes
or USS Republic/Treklanta t-shirts encouraged! Make
it so! |

Mercer Ballroom
Loews Atlanta Hotel
1065 Peachtree Street NE, Atlanta 30309 |
| Join
the USS Republic on an away mission to see an exclusive
advance screening of The Terror: Infamy followed by
a panel discussion hosted by Georgia Takei about his new documentary! |
|
|
Set
during World War II, the haunting and suspenseful second season
of the horror-infused anthology The Terror: Infamy
centers on a series of bizarre deaths that haunt a Japanese-American
community and a young man's journey to understand and combat
the malevolent entity responsible. The series features
a cast and crew with a number of personal connections to this
historical time, starting with George Takei, who lived in
two internment camps as a child and is on board as a series
regular and consultant. The lead character is played
by Derek Mio, a fourth-generation Japanese American, whose
grandfather lived on Terminal Island and was sent to Manzanar
internment camp after Pearl Harbor. Mio also recently
appeared in the Netflix docuseries Medal of Honor,
where he portrayed WWII Medal of Honor Recipient Hiroshi Miyamura.
This exclusive advance screening of The Terror: Infamy
will be held at 3:40 p.m. in the Mercer Ballroom at the Loews
Atlanta hotel. Following the screening, at 4:30
p.m., a one-hour panel discussion featuring lead actor Derek
Mio, actor/consultant George Takei and showrunner Alexander
Woo will be presented.
The screening and panel discussion are part of REPRESENT,
a day-long program for creators of color and their allies
in news and entertainment media, presented by the Atlanta
chapter of the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA).
Tickets for the day-long program are $50 (+ $4.67) in
advance by online purchase or $75 (+ $6.20) at the door. There
is no discount available for attending only the screening
and panel discussion.
USS Republic CO Eric L. Watts invites you to join him
for these two events. Purchase your ticket online
at the web site link below and confirm your plans to attend
by clicking "Going" on the event page linked below. USS
Republic or Treklanta t-shirts encouraged! Make

ABOUT
THE REPUBLIC
|
|
The
USS Republic NCC-1371 was originally commissioned
as a chapter of STARFLEET International on May 14, 1988,
at the Dixie-Trek convention in Atlanta, Georgia. As
of July 25, 2019, the Republic crew includes 39
members who are active members of STARFLEET in good
standing.
|
|
The
Republic plans and coordinates an active schedule
of events for its members, but does not hold meetings
on a consistently fixed date each month.
|
|
Because
the USS Republic is a duly commissioned chapter
of STARFLEET International and is bound and governed by
its Constitution and By-Laws, membership in STARFLEET
is a prerequisite for membership in the Republic. STARFLEET
membership dues are $5 for one person and Republic
chapter dues are $10 ($15 total). The Republic
collects a single combined dues payment for both groups
and remits the STARFLEET portion to them on the Republic
member's behalf. STARFLEET offers family discounts
for additional members as shown below. Additional
information about membership options, amounts due for
additional family members, payment options and instructions
for other forms of payment is on the "How to Join" page
of our award-winning web site.
