With stand-out costumes and a spectacular set, the students told the story of a con artist named Frank Abagnale Jr., played by talented senior Matthew Schneider. Students entertained audience members through song and dance with numbers such as “Live in Living Color,” “Jet Set” and “Don’t Break the Rules.” The pit orchestra, directed by Dr. Eric Kay, performed in the upper level of the stage throughout the musical as they helped bring the story to life.
