You are now cleared for takeoff for Paradise Theatre's stage presentation of Catch Me If You Can. Written by Scott Witman and Marc Shaiman, the play follows the true story of Frank Abagnale, Jr. a world-class con artist who passed himself off as a doctor, lawyer and jet pilot all before the age of 21. With straight-arrow FBI agent Carl Hanratty on Frank's trail, the story takes off on a jet-setting, cat-and-mouse chase fueled by a jazzy '60s score that keeps the adventure in constant motion. The musical is based on the 2002 film, which was directed by Steven Spielberg and starred Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks and Christopher Walken.

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 3 p.m. Sunday, through March 28, Paradise Theatre, 9911 Burnham Dr. NW, Gig Harbor, $25-$40, 253.851.PLAY
