Fan Comments
1995
Saturday night we had two plays that were incredibly funny. One was a take off on "Spock's Brain" and was called "Spock's Penis. If you remember the original clunker from Classic Trek you can extrapolate the plot - except the thief of the missing organ was a fan who had been trapped in Santa Barbara for 15 years in a virtual reality game that was failing. It was hysterical. [1]
[Thank you to] Lezlie Shell for her two fannish plays (that would be "Jurassic Fandom" and the "emergency back-up skit", Spock's Penis) [2]

In Search of Spock's Penis - "It was a play based on two bits of Star Trek canon: the absolutely horrific TV episode "In Search of Spock's Brain" where aliens abduct Spock's brain to use it in their planetary computer and the Enterprise crew runs around the planet with zombie Spock in tow, trying to recover his brain. And of course, it was a play on words for the title of the third Star Trek movie, "In Search of Spock." As you can imagine, in the play it is Spock's penis that goes missing. The thief of the missing organ was a fan who had been trapped in Santa Barbara for 15 years in a virtual reality game that was failing. Spock was brilliantly played by Pat Diggs, who, if I recall, would intermittently collapse into a chair while holding up an ersatz organ and gazing at it wistfully. It was beyond hilarious." [3]
