Plot Synopsis:

The story of Catch Me If You Can is very similar to that of the 2002 Leonardo DiCaprio/Tom Hanks movie of the same name. From boyhood, Frank Abagnale, Jr. is a fast-talking, smooth operator whose charm seems to always get him just where he wants to be, and he gets a kick out of putting people on ever since posing as his class's substitute French teacher. After pressures at home stemming from his parents' marital problems become too much for him to bear, he braves the world on his own. With a pocketful of forged checks to get him through, he poses as a pilot, a lawyer, and a doctor, always staying one step ahead of persistent FBI Agent Carl Hanratty. The cat-and-mouse game, the unusual relationship between the two leading men, and Frank's eventual relationship with nurse Brenda Strong take Frank on a wild ride through his extraordinary life. Will Frank ever be able to slow down, even for a chance at true love? Get your Catch Me If You Can tickets today and watch the story unfold.
