Q&A: How Do You Become a ‘Sesame Street’ Puppeteer?

https://news.virginia.edu/content/qa-how-do-you-become-sesame-street-puppeteer
"Sesame Street” is coming to the University of Virginia’s Grounds. Cast members from the friendliest street in America will perform Thursday at Carr’s Hill for an Arts on the Hill event, following a workshop with students in Helms Theatre. Sesame Street puppeteer Matt Vogel, who gives life to Count von Count and Big Bird, is one of the cast members who will perform at Carr’s Hill. Vogel talked to UVA Today ahead of the performance about how he joined the show’s cast and some of the most surprising things about being on the show.
