Pam Arciero

Pam Arciero is a puppeteer, voice actress, puppet designer, and director who is best known for playing the current Grundgetta on Sesame Street. She also performed various one-time characters and assisted her friends since 1984. Pam has also worked with the Muppets three times, on Little Muppet Monsters, The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson, and A Muppet Christmas: Letters to Santa. Arciero even worked on the Henson Company show The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss. I've read that she has directed lots of live shows at Sesame Place and at El Capitan Theater. Outside of Sesame Street, she performed on numerous shows like Eureeka's Castle, Allegra's Window, and Between the Lions (replacing Kathryn Mullen), to name a few. Pam Arciero also designed puppets on Blue's Room and directed on Oobi in addition to performing on them both. She got to work alongside puppeteers like Caroll Spinney, Brian Muehl, Martin P. Robinson, and Peter Linz, just to name a few. It seems to be that she is one of those puppeteers who knows how to perform positive and negative characters. Pam's time on Sesame Street being Grundgetta was off until Season 48 when she returned as a recurring character. But Arciero still continues to perform minor characters and assist. I just hope she will direct on the show itself other than at Sesame Place live shows. From a cute lion cub to a grouch, she has been on the move and developed great personalities. Pam Arciero, you are an incredible puppeteer and not so bad at both directing and designing. Keep up the great work on Sesame Street and for other appearances across the nation. You're voice will be heard in animation someday. Think big Pam! You sure know what to do Arciero!

Heather Quinn

Heather Quinn is a British puppeteer, cosplayer, singer, and gossiper who did many puppet characters for social media. She is also the only puppeteer who does cosplay, in other words, dresses and acts like their favorite character from a show. Heather also has a love for anything vintage, which I personally find to be unique for a person to like things from the past. Quinn hasn't done anything Muppet-related in her life, in fact she's probably never even heard of the Muppets or the Henson Company. However she has puppeteered many times for social media such as TikTok and Instagram. One of her puppets resembles an Ewok from the Star Wars franchise, which could give a clue that she's a Star Wars fan as well. In addition to puppetry, Heather Quinn has been gossiping on her website about her activities, her travels, as well as her habit of drinking tea. She's also sung all of Sondheim's Company, Into the Woods, and Sweeney Todd, as stated by her on her own website. Ther...

Amanda Glass

Amanda Glass is a British puppeteer and costume maker who puppeteered on season 1 of Sooty (2011) as well as part of the third season. She also puppeteered on the Sooty video Sooty: The Big Day Out as well as making many of the puppets' costumes on the series. Besides doing Sooty, Amanda was also an additional puppeteer on Mongrels for three episodes. I personally think Glass should have puppeteered on a project by either the Muppets or the Henson Company (mostly in the Creature Shop). It's currently unknown what the performer looks like since the picture above either has her on camera or under one of the puppets. On both Sooty and Mongrels, other puppeteers she performed with include Iestyn Evans, Yvonne Stone, Simon Buckley, and Toby Olie, to name a few. Maybe someday Amanda Glass will have her chance to meet one of the Muppet performers in the UK or maybe she will learn about the Henson Company online. Nobody really knows whatever happened to her after 2018 when she did seas...
