Audition Information

Transcription

1 Audition Information The Show: CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is based on the hit Dream Works Film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Amy Adams, Jennifer Garner and Martin Sheen. This splashy spectacle follows the unbelievable true story of one of the most famous con-artists in history, Frank Abagnale, Jr. Catch Me If You Can is a rousing musical set in the 1960 s. We begin as Frank is captured by Agent Hanratty after years of pursuit. Frank, however, thinks the audience deserves to hear his version of the truth, and narrates his life as a hip, dance-heavy variety television show. We see Frank, as a teenager, run away from his unhappy home to live a life of great adventure, conning people by assuming a multitude of identities: airline pilot, doctor, and lawyer, to name a few. A fast, rollicking musical by the creative team behind Hairspray, first produced in When and Where: Auditions will be held Monday, May 2 & Tuesday, May 3 from 5 to 9 pm at Carrington Hall at Sequoia High School Brewster Avenue in room M-5.
