MONDAY, MARCH 28
Following four performances of the musical “Catch Me If You Can,” Ringgold High School Performing Arts’ students are taking the stage once more, this time to raise muchneeded funds for Save the Children’s Ukraine Relief Effort. On Monday, March 28, at 7 p.m., the Robin L. Christian Performing Arts Theater will come to life again, but with renewed meaning for the cast, crew, and directors. “Catch Me If You Can” is based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., a precocious teenager seeking fame and fortune, who 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 Frank’s lies catch the attention of FBI agent Carl Hanratty, who pursues Frank across the country to make him pay for his crimes. Funds from “Catch Me If You Can” will help support Save the Children’s Ukraine Relief Effort, with 85% of all Save the Children’s donations going directly to Ukraine to assist with the needs of children and their families. To purchase tickets ($10) for the show, visit rhsperformingarts.ludus.com.
