Only four more chances to catch Talespinner's hilarious

(a Topsy-Turvy Tale of England)
by David Hansen
Directed by Alison Garrigan
Movement by Stephanie Wilbert
Now through April 19th!
Talespinner Children's Theatre (TCT) has kicked off its 2015 mainstage season with a zany, exciting, and magical mash-up of English folktale, music, and some unexpected friends! ROSALYNDE & THE FALCON opened to laughter, applause, critical and kid acclaim, and runs through Sunday, April 19th at the Reinberger Auditorium, 5209 Detroit Avenue, Cleveland, OH, 44102.
When Rosalynde’s evil uncle, the King, forces her to flee, she meets a wily,
wacky trio of thieves in the forest who offer to help her. When her best
friend, the Prince, accidentally gives her hiding place away, she must go into
clever disguise, with an unexpected outcome! Tangling Robin Hood, Snow White,
The Marx Brothers, and Shakespeare together with hilarious results, this tale tells the story of
bumbling banditry, mixed-up secret identities, and unexpected friendship. But
will they all live happily ever after?
