McClain Drama Department to present "Get Smart"

   “Would you believe seven police boats are closing in on us right now?” asks Maxwell Smart of the head of KAOS who now holds him captive. When the master criminal finds this a little hard to accept, the straight-faced Smart asks, “Would you believe six?” With that question, this bright comedy-satire put an expression into the English language. Smart (Cody Hendershot) is off on a bizarre case in which he must stop the sinister organization known as KAOS from their most shameful plot. Their plan is to prove their power by blowing up the Statue of Liberty! This is too much and Smart springs - perhaps we should say stumbles - into action. Magnificently assisted by beautiful Agent 99 (Kirsti Sickefoose), Smart proceeds from one gigantic blunder to another - each, however, somehow turning into a master stroke. In the end, the sinister agency, KAOS is stopped and Maxwell emerges the hero once again.
