Based on the hit film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and the incredible true story that inspired it, new Broadway musical Catch Me If You Can follows the life of Frank W. Abagnale Jr., who uses charm, imagination and millions of dollars in forged checks to create his ideal future. Abagnale successfully poses as a pilot, a doctor and a lawyer -- and wins the girl of his dreams -- before FBI agent Carl Hanratty finally catches up to him. The Tony Award-winning "dream team" behind Catch Me If You Can includes playwright Terrence McNally (The Full Monty, Ragtime) and composers Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (Hairspray). Learn More

Written on Apr 23 2012Cheers to Steven Drukman's funny and moving new play THE PRINCE OF ATLANTIS at South Coast Repertory. It was terrific in the reading last year at the Pacific Playwrights Festival. It is even more wonderful now. There is one sock-you-in-the-gut moving scene -- rarely do you hear audience members weep. Kudos to director Warner Shook and the cast Matthew Arkin, Brett Ryback, Nike Doukas and John Kapelos. Special kudos to designer Tom Buderwitz for his smart and laugh-out-loud set.

Written on Apr 16 2012The play was entertaining, particularly the local accents and vocabulary of the Lake area outside of Boston. I liked the acting, and the sets were well done. I would recommend this play.

Written on Apr 12 2012The Prince of Atlantis was outstanding. May go see it again this week. I have nothing but praise for the story, the actors .... it left me thinking about truths/half truths/family secrets, etc. Hope it goes to NYC--I go there a lot too.

Quotes & Highlights
- "Drukman orchestrates the action and revelations masterfully, culminating in a late-play surprise that brings the playwright's themes neatly into focus." --Orange County Register
- "As directed by Warner Shook, Drukman's script has the slick professionalism of a major movie or television production ... Drukman's comedic dialogue is loose, breezy, and informal, and his characters' stories, jokes, and references are enhanced by their lively street slang/" --Back Stage West
- "it’s a journey worth taking under Warner Shook’s careful direction, and the cast is compelling. John Capelos is hilarious as Joey, a seafood mogul whose business practices land him in prison; Nike Doukas is even funnier as his tough-talking, street smart girlfriend, Connie." --Examiner
Description
By Steven Drukman
Directed by Warner Shook
Audience recommendation: While drug and alcohol use are part of the action, they aren’t condoned and theater-goers of all ages should enjoy these colorful characters and their story. The show contains some profanity and is recommended for those age middle school and above.
