Donna Kimball

Donna Kimball is a puppeteer, writer, and voice actress who worked with The Jim Henson Company and the Muppets several times. Her work with Henson was shown on various shows like Pajanimals, Sid the Science Kid, and Splash & Bubbles. Donna's work can also be seen with Henson Alternative, performing on Puppet Up, Neil's Puppet Dreams, and The Happytime Murders. Since 2012, Kimball replaced Kathryn Mullen as Mokey Fraggle starting with a music video. She also performed her for a Puppets for Puppetry event in 2016, and the Fraggle Rock: Rock On! shorts. For Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, not only did she do Mokey, but she also took on the roles of Cotterpin Doozer and Storyteller Fraggle. Recently, Donna Kimball assisted the Muppets on The Muppets Mayhem, while her Henson shows lately were Earth to Ned, Duff's Happy Fun Bake Time, and Slumberkins. Her outside work can be seen on Greg the Bunny, Jellybean Jungle, and Crank Yankers, just to name a few. She even worked with Sid & Marty Krofft on Sigmund & the Sea Monsters and Mutt & Stuff, working alongside Drew Massey and Victor Yerrid. Donna really knows how to puppeteer when it comes to television, streaming or live. Let's hope that Kimball continues to do Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock since that's the show that placed her in the Muppet performer category on the Muppet Wiki. She also had a wise voice when voicing Aughra on The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Donna Kimball, you've done wonderful with both the Muppets and Henson Company over the years and you still are. Keep up the splendid Fraggle Rock performance, so the original performers are happy that the show made a comeback. Until the next time you work with the Muppets, don't stop performing. Excellent Donna. You're a star Kimball!

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...
