Schaeffer is a graduate of Kutztown University. In 2012, he was awarded an honorary degree, Doctor of Humane Letters, from his alma mater. On June 24th, 2020, Schaeffer stepped down as Artistic Director of Signature Theatre amid accusations of sexual assault. As reported in The Washington Post, an independent investigation occurred in 2018 which found the allegations to be non-credible and being done for personal financial purposes. However, an article published contemporaneously by DCist documented multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. (en)
