The Count's Storybook Theatre is a recurring Sesame Street sketch that premiered during season 24. From his castle, The Count would read a classic piece of numerical literature, often featuring him in a leading role. Each sketch was bookended by a shot of a table with a pop-up book of the sketch's story and a candelabra, which would typically be blown out as the segment closed. The segment's theme was composed by Dave Conner. A later sketch was similarly titled "The Count's Fairytale Theatre," but lacked the segment's bookends and theme. __NOWYSIWYG__
