PJ Schweizer , Events & Production Manager - Sesame Place
May 30, 2023
On this week's episode of Where To Next, I'm joined by PJ Schweizer, Events & Production Manager for Sesame Place! Sesame Place holds a very special place in my heart personally-- as a kid, we visited a few times-- so it was really lovely to learn how Sesame Place has grown and expanded since my time visiting as a kid. PJ also gave me some background on the inclusion efforts Sesame Place has taken over the years including their Certified Autism Center, plus what's new at the park and their very exciting summer season of events!
PJ Schweizer joined Sesame Place in 2006 as an Actor/Vocalist and held various positions within the Entertainment Department until moving into his current role of Events & Production Manager. He has over 20 years of experience working in the entertainment industry, ranging from classical theater, musical theater, theme parks, film, and television. PJ has worked as a professional actor since 2009, has been a member of the Actors Equity Association since 2011, and continues to work as a professional actor to this day. However, his greatest passion has always been Family Entertainment.
Under PJ’s tenure, Sesame Place has developed new and innovative productions that align with the fun, energy, and educational missions of Sesame Street and Sesame Workshop. The park has also established a robust event calendar including their Elmo’s Springtacular season, Sesame Summer Splash, A Very Furry Christmas, The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular, and their family-friendly Mardi Gras celebration, to ensure they are continuing to produce new and exciting offerings to keep their guests engaged and energized all year long.
