Tickets are now on sale for our first 3rd year production of 2026/27!!!

Based on the hit DreamWorks film and the incredible true story,Catch Me If You Can is a high-flying, fast-paced musical comedy that will capture your heart and keep you on the edge of your seat!

The story follows Frank Abagnale Jr., a brilliant and charming teenager who runs away from home in search of a glamorous life. With nothing but his wits, flash, and a mountain of imagination, Frank successfully forges millions of dollars in checks and poses as a mainline commercial pilot, a brilliant doctor, and a hotshot prosecutor—all before his 21st birthday! But the FBI is hot on his heels. What follows is a thrilling, globetrotting cat-and-mouse game between Frank and the dogged FBI Agent Carl Hanratty, set to a spectacular, jazz-infused 1960s score.
