RIP Dulcy Singer (1933 - 2026)

Sad news as Dulcy Singer, long time Sesame Street executive producer, has died. 


Singer started her Sesame career during the show's first season. Director Jon Stone quickly took notice of her abilities and she was promoted to 
associate producer the next season through season 5. She rose to producer for seasons 6 to 9, and then executive producer during seasons 12 to 24. 


Singer also produced several direct-to-video and television specials, including classics like  Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, Don't Eat the Pictures, and Sesame Street, Special otherwise known as Put Down The Duckie.

During her time as executive producer she oversaw decisions to handle the death of Mr. Hooper, the adoption of Miles, the birth of Gabi, and the concept of Maria and Luis’ romance and wedding on the show.

She remained on Sesame Street through the end of season 24.

Sonia Manzano paid tribute to Ducly on her Facebook page:

Dulcy Singer was a major force in my life.

The shows fans mention most often are Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, Maria's Wedding, and Goodbye, Mr. Hooper, the groundbreaking episode that dealt with the death of Will Lee, the actor who played Mr. Hooper. All were projects that Dulcy executive produced, and all, in my opinion, helped make Sesame Street what it was.

They captured the essence of the show.

They were as brave as Dulcy was.

Dulcy gave me my career. When I expressed frustration about the authenticity and amount of Latino content on the show, she encouraged me to write some myself. I did, and became a writer, something I could never have imagined for myself. That began an exciting journey that I am still traveling today.

She was really something. I'm honored and privileged to have known her.

She will always be with me


Dulcy Singer was 92.
