Lindsey "Z" Briggs is a puppeteer and puppet builder who has served as Foundation Manager for the Jim Henson Foundation. She did get a chance to perform on Sesame Street in some videos dealing with foster care as a monster foster mother named Dalia. Lindsey also performs Foley in The Sesame Street Podcast with Foley & Friends. Briggs needs to have more experience with Sesame Street, the Muppets, and other shows by the Henson Company. After all, she manages the foundation so she should have a chance to work with Henson Company and Sesame Street more. Outside of Sesame Street and the Jim Henson Foundation, she does have a more major role in life as one of the people who works with the WonderSpark Puppets company. Lindsey Briggs built and performed puppets for various kid shows produced by that company such as SeeMore's Playhouse. Her puppetry was also seen on shows such as Monica's Mixing Bowl, Sheira and Loli's Dittydoodle Works, and Helpsters, to name a few. Some other puppeteers she worked with include Andy Hayward, Paul McGinnis, Haley Jenkins, Sarah Frechette, and more. I still think that Lindsey should consider working more with Sesame Street and the Muppets on other projects. I also want to know what the Z stands for in Briggs' name, then again numerous other puppeteers have a middle letter. I've also read that she has even produced and directed a documentary about puppets back in 2008. There's a lot she can do but there's more Sesame for her. Lindsey Briggs, keep on working at the Jim Henson Foundation and at WonderSpark Puppets. You've done well as Dalia for those Sesame Street videos about foster care. I'll bet children who are under foster care will see you as a role model since you've appeared on the show proper. Excellent job Lindsey. Be proud Briggs!

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...

His most notable work with them was on Fraggle Rock as the body of Pa Gorg and various other characters on the series.

Apart from her, Gordon Robertson did various other shows, his most notable ones were Zoboomafoo and Groundling Marsh.

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...
