Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street? This week that route takes us through New Jersey, via William Paterson University. This past Friday, January 30 marked a rare gathering of Sesame folk for a panel talk moderated by author Michael Davis, titled “Sesame Street at 40: A Night of Celebration and Discovery with the Legendary Cast”. And legendary they were: Caroll Spinney (Big Bird and Oscar), Frank Oz (Bert, Cookie Monster, Grover), Kevin Clash (Elmo), Fran Brill (Prarie Dawn, Zoe), Marty Robinson (Telly, Snuffy), Bob McGrath, Sonia Manzano, and writer Tony Geiss. Anyone who was there will tell you it was a night to remember. More >
