Vincent E. Egan had a simple vision. To improve the
quality of family entertainment. So he set about developing special
licensing agreements with the Children's Television Workshop
and Jim Henson Productions.
Vowing to stay absolutely true to the concept of educational
entertainment, Mr. Egan was granted exclusive rights to create
life-size replicas of the Sesame Street Muppets.
In 1980, VEE Corporation and the touring productions of Sesame
Street Live were born. Since then, Big Bird, Cookie Monster and
friends have been bringing the wonder and excitement of Sesame
Street directly to the eyes and ears of families around the world.
