Somehow, it is possible to parody a parody. Find out how when Alley Theater presents Top Secret, which opens on Friday night.
Top Secret performances are to happen on May 17, 18, 24, 25, 31, and June 1 at 7:30 p.m. each night. A matinee show, meanwhile, will occur on May 26 at 2 p.m. All performances will take place at the Alley Theater, located inside The Pointe at 1210 Franklin Street [4] in the Butchertown area of Louisville.
Tickets for each show are $20 per person and can be purchased at the door or at the Alley Theater [5] website.
Top Secret is, essentially, a parody of a parody. The show is a parody of the Zucker Brothers's Top Secret movie, which, in turn, parodied WWII and Cold War-era spy movies. (Zucker Brothers, by the way, were the same ones that collaborated on such classics as Airplane! and Naked Gun) In this stage production, a plan to break a scientist out of captivity in East Germany somehow gets an American rock and roll singer involved.
There will be underwater saloon fights, a cow with rain boots, surfboards, and plenty of bad puns. Audience participation may also be required as the plot to defeat The Torch is revealed.
Season auditions [6] for the Alley Theater will take place on May 18, 19, and 25.
