Seeking fame and fortune, Frank Abagnale, Jr., runs away from home to begin an unforgettable adventure. With nothing more than his boyish charm, a big imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks, Frank successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer – living the high life and winning the girl of his dreams. When Frank’s lies catch the attention of FBI agent, Carl Hanratty, he pursues Frank across the country to make him pay for his crimes.

They will be joined by Christiana Alicante, Robbie Beirne, Sarah Drummer, Adam Forward, Sydney Greene, Shea Hager, Andy Hartman, Cole Hong Sisser, Todd Maguire, Patrick Murray, Evelyn Peterson, Troy Serena and Lauren M. Smith.

Catch Me If You Can is Directed by Frank Portanova with Music Direction by Stephen Ferri and Choreography by Betty Weinberger.
