Mystery awaits you at a mountain lodge as ‘Catch Me If You Can’ kicks off the season at Meadow Brook Theatre

Chilling thriller runs October 8 through November 2, 2025, on the campus of Oakland University

Daniel Corban is excited that he and his wife get to spend their honeymoon at his boss’s cabin in the mountains. But when the newlyweds squabble, his wife takes a walk to clear her head. When she finally returns, Daniel claims the woman is not his wife, but with a priest backing up her story, who’s telling the truth? As the mystery grows, the once-charming lodge seems so much more remote and threatening.
