Welcome to the Raggedy Ann Revival Effort homepage!
The Raggedy Ann Revival Effort (or R.A.R.E.) is an online volunteer effort dedicated to preserving, archiving, and eventually reviving the 1986 Broadway musical Raggedy Ann.
Our goal is to restore and revive the show by recovering and cleaning up the script, re-creating missing orchestrations for the music, and recovering any lost content we can find, so that hopefully we may one day put on the Raggedy Ann musical ourselves! We started in Feburary of 2021 and operate mainly on Slack, with a central hub of organizers who archive and support the work done by the larger community.
Come explore our archives, learn a little about the show, and join us if you like! You can follow us on the social media listed to the right, or send us an email at theraggedyannrevivaleffort@gmail.com

COULD ONE POOR RAG DOLLY, PLAIN AS CAN BE
REALLY MAKE SOMEONE'S WISHES COME TRUE?
That’s right! The endeavors of the Raggedy Ann Revival Effort are no longer just dreams and make believe. Join us February 2025 at Ohio University’s Putnam Playspace for our first real-for-sure staged reading of the newly revised Rag Dolly script.
Come give us your feedback, hear the songs we’ve all come to love (performed alongside a live piano accompanist), and join us to celebrate four years of not taking “impossible” for an answer!
