I was invited to attend the 2014 Sesame Street puppeteer workshop, and boy did I have the time of my life. The trip to New York City was hectic and filled with delays and cancelled flights, but I made it
.
Meeting the talented puppeteers behind some of my favorite characters was definitely a highlight. As was seeing how the workshop offices were decorated! So much memorabilia and toys lined the walls and shelves, and the otherwise plain, black walls of the hallways were decorated with elaborate chalk drawings of the characters! 
Matt Vogel, Marty Robinson and Peter Linz were the workshop instructors and drilled us each day with puppetry techniques as well as character development and acting exercises! What a fantastic group of down to earth people. And so funny!
Of course, my favorite part was getting to meet two of my very favorite Sesame Street residences… Telly Monster and Count Von Count!
Everyone there was so talented. I felt so honored to be part of the closely knit group. I met some really amazing people from all over the country and definitely hope to bump into many of them again! As a small side note, I have some AWESOME pictures from my trip, but due to the expressed request of Sesame Workshop, I am unable to post them.
