Where No Man Has Gone Before is an improvised parody of the original Star Trek TV series. The crew beams down to an alien planet, only to find something amiss.

Where No Man Has Gone Before is created and directed by Jeannine Clarke.

The cast of Where No Man Has Gone Before is Tony Beeman, Colin Madison, Jekeva Phillips, Cheryl Platz, Nicholas Schell, Wayne Pishue and Doug Willott.
