About Catch Me If You Can

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 and not getting caught. 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.

Rock Falls High School

The Rock Falls Drama Department proudly produces two shows each year. In the fall semester we perform a play and in the spring semester we alternate between a play and a musical. This year, the spring show is a musical. During the winter, drama students can compete on our Speech Team.  The goals of the Rock Falls Drama Department are:

  • To provide a small stage for big dreams, where every student discovers the courage to tell their story and the empathy to understand someone else’s.
  • To cultivate a community of creative risk-takers who use the performing arts to build confidence, collaboration, and character—on and off the stage.

We hope you will continue to support our students and our program while enjoying the wonderful performances these students create.
