Northglenn Youth Theatre Presents
Catch Me If You Can

NORTHGLENN, CO — The D.L. Parsons Theatre, north metro Denver’s oldest theatre providing entertainment year-round to patrons of all ages, is proud to present the award-winning Northglenn Youth Theatre in its production of Catch Me If You Can. Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings at 7 pm and Sundays at 2 pm, April 22 – May 1.

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. Seeking fame and fortune, precocious teenager Frank Abignale, 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. But when Frank’s lies catch the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty, Carl pursues Frank across the country to make him pay for his crimes. (Please note, due to mature content this production is rated PG.)
