- Sidney – (Male, 25-60) Laidback and kind, local deli owner who makes amazing sandwiches and coffee; knows what's happening around town.
- Everett Parker – (Male, 40-60) Daniel's cagey boss who owns the cabin; will understudy Daniel and/or Levine.

Advertising executive Daniel Corban is frantic, and understandably so. His new wife, Elizabeth, has gone missing from a remote mountain lodge in the Catskills during their honeymoon. Police inspector Levine is called in to investigate this disappearance, believing a simple lovers' quarrel spurred Mrs. Corban to leave on her own accord. Soon the local priest, Father Kelleher, arrives with great news that Elizabeth has been found. When the bride returns to the cabin, however, Daniel emphatically claims that the woman is not his wife, while she strongly insists that she is. Who (if anybody) is telling the truth? Inspector Levine tries to follow the clues through the ensuing mayhem, twists, and turns. Can he determine fact from fiction, decipher the building paranoia, and finally solve this baffling case before someone gets hurt?

Where
Production Kickoff, auditions, and performances take place at:
Curtain Players Theatre
5691 Harlem Road, Galena, OH 43021
Curtain Players offers an information session for each of its productions as a help for actors seeking roles, but attendance is not required to audition. The event is an opportunity for actors to become acquainted with the community theatre organization, to discuss the play with the director, and to ask questions about the audition process, rehearsal period, and production plans. Those interested in working behind the scenes are also invited to attend.
Curtain Players conducts open auditions for its productions.
Roles are not cast in advance, and, unless specified otherwise in the role's description, are open to all without regard to race or ethnicity.
Casting decisions are made by the director and a casting committee comprised of (at minimum) a member of the theatre board, a general member of the organization, and individuals of the director's choosing.
Auditions will be cold readings from the script.
Those who attend the production kickoff will have advance access to the sides.
Requests for an early audition for Catch Me If You Can must be made no later than January 24, 2027.
Questions related to the audition process may be directed to production@curtainplayers.org.
Rehearsals will be Sunday - Thursday evenings, although we probably won't meet every day to start, and you will not necessarily be called to every rehearsal. The Director will take into account cast availability and preferences to create the schedule, so please list all known conflicts on your audition form (this will not affect your ability to be cast unless there is an excessive amount of planned absences or if you'll be missing tech week (May 2-6) or any performance).
