Synopsis
Raggedy Ann, America's most endearing and enduring folk doll, comes to life in a production that captures the imagination. This free-wheeling romp combines simple inventive staging with an action-packed plot and lively audience participation. Through it all shines the gentle, loving spirit of Raggedy Ann. The story unfolds in a special playroom where wonderful, magical events transpire. A newcomer has arrived in the playroom, a fancy French doll named Babette. But that very evening, a certain prince Leonard-the-Looney-Hearted comes riding by on his hobby horse and whisks her away to Looney-land. Raggedy Ann knows what she must do! She and Andy climb out the window into the "deep, deep woods" to fetch Babette back home. (Patricia Thackray co-authored the animated feature-length film.)

Customer Reviews
- "This is a simple and charming script, easily adaptable to a flexible and large (or smallish) cast. We don't have our own venue, so we must carry all of our sets, props, and costumes with us. This show was easy to work with a bare stage and simple set/props. We used black lights for the taffy mine and an ensemble of actors to become trees, greedy appendages, and the witch's castle. It was lots of fun, and the story is just so sweet. We got lots of compliments."
- Review by Angela Robbins, Cumberland County HS, Crossville, Tenn.
- "The second night was S.R.O., with children sitting in the pit ... many children had come back to see Raggedy Ann and Andy again! Children were screaming with laughter. If you're looking for a children's play, this is it! Vivid characters, fun to do, impossible to over-act, no slow spots."
- Review by Alan Sawyer, Brandywine Heights High School, Topton, Pa.
- "A fun, bright show—full of imagination and possibilities. Raggedy Ann and Andy is a joy to costume! The characters are written full of personality. I have produced many children's theatre productions, and this is one of my favorites! A fantastic audience-participation show!"
