“Catch Me If You Can at Rock Falls High 🎭 | Cast Interview + LIVE Scene Performance!”

Get a behind-the-scenes look at Rock Falls High School’s upcoming production of Catch Me If You Can on this episode of Along the Rock, hosted by Emma Watts.

Director Carolyn Sutton joins student actors Adam Vervynk and Austin Homrighausen to break down the high-energy musical based on the real-life story of teenage con artist Frank Abagnale Jr. The show follows Frank’s journey as he assumes multiple identities while staying one step ahead of FBI agent Carl Hanratty in a fast-paced game of cat and mouse.

The group dives into their characters, the rehearsal process, and what makes this production stand out — from big musical numbers and comedy to emotional moments that hit hard. Plus, audiences will have the chance to pick a side: Team Frank or Team Hanratty.

Stick around for a special preview scene performed by the cast at the end of the episode.
