'Sesame Street' coming to military installations Published June 27, 2008 WASHINGTON (AFPN) -- Beloved "Sesame Street" characters like Elmo and Grover will visit more than 40 military installations this year to entertain families with a free one-hour show. The production, sponsored by United Service Organizations, travels across the country with the first show July 8. A stop is scheduled at Fort Dix, N.J., Oct. 18. The tour is part of Sesame Workshop's Talk, Listen, Connect initiative, a military outreach program, which launched in 2006. The initiative provides support and offers significant resources for military families with young children experiencing the effects of deployment, multiple deployments or when a parent returns home changed due to a combat-related injury. Military families who attend the experience will see a live character performance and receive giveaways and outreach materials from Talk, Listen, Connect and other partners.
