In 1971, a new pink, blonde little girl joined Betty Lou on Sesame Street. That’s right, it’s finally time for Prairie Dawn! And while Betty Lou faded to the background, Prairie Dawn stuck around and still appears on the show over 50 years later. Why did one work rather than the other? Well if anyone can help Becca answer that question, it’s Stephanie D’Abruzzo, a performer who has years of experience developing female characters for children’s media…and also currently performs Prairie Dawn on Sesame! They’ll discuss everything from Prairie’s handkerchief to 90s Anything Muppet Elizabeth, so you do not want to miss this one.
And remember: the answers to Becca’s questions will start with a Q.
