Silly MonstersDelight in a screening of Sesame Street’s first-ever animated special The Monster at the End of This Story at 1 p.m. in the Paychex Theater using social distance. In this new special, Grover is the star of his very own story. But oh no—there is a monster at the end! Grover does everything he can to stop the show and avoid the monster, but nothing works.
