Towers Productions (Chicago) is producing a new show for the Discovery Channel that uses Chalet, Wilmette, as a “set” in one of the episodes. Taping was at the Wilmette location. Working title is “Undercover.” The show is a profile docudrama that recreates various undercover sting operations to show how crimes were solved. The topic of the show in which Chalet is being used as a “set” regards an undercover DEA operation in the 1980s, which took place in an outdoor bar/café in Columbia. The producers were for a tropical-looking patio setting and Chalet delivered. Chalet’s participation will be very brief tight shots – 10 seconds in two scenes, but the “Undercover” episode will air worldwide in January (date not yet set). Chalet will be given credit at the end of the show.
