Here are 3 pages from JOHNNY SIMONS' 130 page handwritten script for RAGGEDY ANN & ANDY.
JOHNNY was in the unenviable position of creating these productions from whole cloth.
SHARON BENGE was the producer of the CASA MANANA PLAYHOUSE and her general operating procedure was to pick a series of Titles out of thin air and schedule a season with full publicity around them. It was up to us to come up with viable shows to fill the bill. This meant that JOHNNY had to write from scratch some of the shows. RAGGEDY ANN & ANDY being the first one I was involved with (He had culled the performance script for TREASURE ISLAND directly from the book by R. L. STEVENSON).
