PITTSBURGH, PA — Actor-turned-astronaut William Shatner will make a Pittsburgh-area appearance early in 2022. The "Star Trek" star will be live on stage March 2 at the Carnegie of Homestead.

Shatner will speak and take questions following a screening of perhaps the most renowned of the Star Trek movie series, "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan."

In October, Shatner, then 90, became the oldest human ever to travel into space. He was on the second crewed flight on Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket ship that launched from the west Texas desert. The private space company's founder is Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos.
