Thanks to a generous gift from a patron, MRT (McKinney Repertory Theatre) is piloting a new program aimed at thanking teachers for their hard work over the past school year. MRT’s Tickets for Teachers program will give all teachers in the surrounding area a FREE ticket to see their upcoming production of Catch Me If You Can on May 3-4 and 10-11 at McKinney Performing Arts Center.
Catch Me If You Can is a classic whodunnit (the original murder mystery play, not the 2002 Frank Abagnale, Jr. movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio & Tom Hanks) overflowing with mirth and excitement from beginning to end. An advertising man who has brought his bride to the boss' mountain lodge for a honeymoon calls in the local police to investigate her sudden disappearance. When a priest and another woman show up and insist, over his protests, that she is the missing wife, he begins to question everyone's motives. Filled with plot twists and turns, this show will keep audience members on the edge of their seats trying to guess what will happen next.
MRT’s production of Catch Me If You Can is being directed by Kent Phillips and produced by Michele Crabtree. Dale G. Gutt plays newlywed Daniel Corban with Amy Lacey playing his missing wife, Elizabeth Corban. Inspector Levine is being played by Kim White, with Paul Miles as Father Kelleher, and Ken Schwartz as Sydney. Kelley Phillips as Mrs. Parker and Lloyd Webb as Everett Parker round out the cast.
