Scott Schafer surprises us with info on the early "circus version" of Raggedy Ann (4-27-2022)

Scott Schafer-- who played Andy onstage from 1984 to Broadway-- joined us last year to hear an update on our progress, and surprised us with (then) unknown information on the Tim Mason production of Raggedy Ann & Andy. The 1983 show was the first attempt at a Raggedy Ann musical by ESIPA & Joe Raposo, and inspired the 1984 William Gibson version of the musical.
This footage was recorded and released with express permission from everyone involved. Full recording exists within RARE’s archives, kept private at the request of its attendees. The meeting was organized and recorded by Mac, and editing was done by Brooklyn Williams.
