ABOUT
Based on the hit film and the incredible true story, Catch Me If You Can is the high-flying musical comedy about chasing your dreams. Nominated for four Tony awards, including Best Musical, this delightfully entertaining show was created by a Tony Award-winning "dream team," with a book by Terrence McNally (The Full Monty, Ragtime) and a swinging score by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray).
Seeking fame and fortune, precocious teenager, 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, though, Carl pursues Frank across the country to make him pay for his crimes.
The Town of Manlius Recreation Department began producing musicals in 1976 under the direction of Marshall Nye. Since that time we have grown to become one of the largest community theatre productions in Central New York. In 2009, The Town of Manlius, along with area residents and businesses, was recognized with a State Assembly of New York Proclamation for its commitment to theatre and the arts.
