RARE Theatricals Artistic Directors - Ohio University, February 2025

The Raggedy Ann Revival Effort (or R.A.R.E. for short) has been my main passion project since March 2021. Raggedy Ann, aka Rag Dolly, is a musical by Joe Raposo and William Gibson. Concieved as a dark fairy tale to show children the importance of hope and friendship when faced with death and adversity, its rocky production led to a hasty push to Broadway, and the tonaly mismatched show failed as a result. Our goal is to revise the script and secure the licensing directly from the estates, in order to bring back the show for schools and community theaters to produce.

In February 2025, RARE Theatricals produced a reading of the revised Rag Dolly: The Raggedy Ann Musical script at Ohio University. We're still working on getting the clips posted, but you can watch one of the songs below!

As an artistic director of the group, I help organize archives, create posts for our social medias, arrange community events, and assist in managing funds and people for our workshop productions. I am also part of the writing team working on the revised script of the show, and often do in-depth research into the playwright's process and previous works to keep our changes as faithfull as possible.

The Fogtown series is a live-action puppet series (so, no, not stop-motion) started by Sean Parker and Austin Hillebrecht! Currently in the development and pitching stage, the show re-imagines the adventures of Sherlock (in this case, Sherblock Holmes) and his friend Watson (Blockson). They're also working on a choose-your-own-adventure game using the same puppetry techniques! The team is a close-knit group of writers, artists, puppet makers and film people, and I'm honored to be part of their volunteer crew making puppets, costumes, and puppeteering on set.
