A Legacy of Innovation

Our story began with the Crawford Band, five children performing John Phillip Sousa numbers under the stern guidance of their father, B.R. “The Professor” Crawford. As adults, Raymond, Wagner, Talmadge “Dutch,” Emil, and the band leader, Rush, became Crawford’s Comedians, “the first great dramatic show ever playing repertoire under canvas.” The siblings performed music and vaudevillian acts and showcased the most popular performers of the day, becoming the largest traveling variety show of their time.

Old faded newspaper clipping with the headline "The Original Crawford's Comedians: In Their Big Tent Theater With a Company of New Faces, Plays, Music, and Vaudeville. Under Personal Direction of Raymond D. Crawford." The image depicts nine musicians posed with instruments. Eight are white men and one is a white woman in a white dress seated with a large harp.The men are wearing suits and are either sitting or standing next to their instruments which include: cello, stand up double bass, clarinet, coronet, violin, trombone, and drums. Below the image, are the words: "Waterproof Theater Located One Block South of Square. Free Act in Front of Tent 7 p.m.  Prices 10c and 20 Cents."

The Modern Era

Today, Crawford’s Attractions is a vibrant production company reimagined by Rush Crawford’s great-granddaughter, Robyn Wagoner.

Robyn often works alongside her daughter—animator Justis Biggart. Crawford’s Attractions is known for producing unique, impactful, and culturally competent content, products, and services.
