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.
