Brad Brewer

Brad Brewer is a puppeteer who is involved in all aspects of puppet theater from design, construction and painting to puppeteering. His most notable work with the Muppets was performing in two Play-Along Videos, Neat Stuff To Know & Do (as Rodney) and Hey, You're as Funny as Fozzie Bear. I've read that Brad also performed on The Muppets Take Manhattan and Sesame Street. I'm not sure if it's true, so I would like to see some proof. Brewer developed an interest in puppetry when he was only six. At first, he was self-taught as a child before being trained under Jim Henson himself. How come Brad hasn't performed with the Muppets in a lot of productions? If Brewer has a puppetry interest, he should keep doing projects involving the Muppets. Outside of the Muppets, Brad Brewer has done a couple of shows and films. He appeared on-screen on an episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood & in Coca-Cola commercials for television. As for his film work, he puppeteered in two films, Ransom and Key Exchange. In 1973, Brad Brewer has founded a New York puppet troupe called the Brewery Troupe. I wish he would tell everyone where he is now, because I have no idea what happened to him after the late 1980's when he assisted the Muppets. However, I read that Brad performs in puppetry festivals for African Americans, but I need proof to see that it's true. Brad Brewer, you must be very popular for puppeteers that live in New York. But I do wish that you get back to Muppet performing again, because one character is not enough for a puppeteer. When you get the chance, go to California and ask the Henson Company if you can work with them for another project. Doesn't hurt to try Brad!

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...
