Maverick Theater brings Agent Maxwell Smart to the stage. Unbeknownst to most people, this play was written years ago based on the popular 1960s television series Get Smart, created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. The play never made it to the stage, but Maverick's Brian Newell obtained the script, finding it a good fit for the company's history of bringing off-the-wall movies to the stage. The show centers on bungling secret agent Maxwell Smart, also known as Agent 86. He and his partner, Agent 99, investigate and thwart various threats to the world -- though Smart's complete incompetence invariably causes hilarious complications. In the end, though, Smart never fails to save the day thanks to his unusual dumb luck.

Historic Interviews Recounted in Frost/Nixon

Full Price:: $22.00
Our Price:: $11.00

Peter Morgan's Tony Award-nominated play that spawned the critically acclaimed 2006 film pits jet-setting British TV talk-show host David Frost against disgraced former president Richard Nixon in a battle of wits and wills. Desperate to regain his slipped standing as a serious journalist, Frost seeks to elicit from the Watergate-plagued Nixon a detailed explanation and apology, while the ever-political former president has his own agenda. This fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the famous 1977 series of interviews dissects the electrifying battle between Nixon and Frost, revealing both mens insecurities, ego and sense of dignity as they face off in a historic encounter that ultimately changes them both.

Not even free drinks on opening night and an occasionally snappy script could save this belly-flop of a show. Despite a swinging live band, the best costumes of any storefront theater in Southern California, and a subtle comedic performance by Shaun Michael McNamara as Maxwell Smart, this production just falls flat.

Would you believe????... that despite some negative reviews on Goldstar for "Get Smart" at the Maverick Theater, I really enjoyed this production! I laughed throughout at the comedy, slapstick humor, innuendos and impromptu audience interaction. Much of the audience of all ages seemed to be laughing along with me. Perhaps it helps to go in with lower expectations and being open to cheesy humor, along the lines of Maverick's production of "Santa Claus and the Martians" from a few years back. Highly recommended.

We had a great time. This is a "Smart", witty production that encourages audience participation. We would recommend the show and theater any time.

This event was absolutely fabulous! I have not laughed so much in a long time. It was so funny and the players were excellent at ad libbing. There were even two children in the front and the main character changed many of the lines to be acceptable for children's ears. Oh, my ! What a hoot it was!!!! Thanks for a wonderful time!
