Ronald Binion

Ronald Binion is a puppeteer and puppet designer/builder who has designed and built characters for many Muppet and Henson projects. He made puppets for Muppets Tonight, The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss, The Animal Show, and Bear in the Big Blue House. Ronald was also an additional puppeteer in new material for a Sesame Street home video called Zoe's Dance Moves. Binion even worked in the Sesame Street film, The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. Too bad he didn't puppeteer in any other Muppet project. Outside of the Muppet Workshop, he has both designed, built, and performed puppets for many projects like LazyTown (as Pixel and a puppet producer), The Book of Pooh, Crank Yankers, Ghostbusters (2016), and many more. Ronald Binion is such an expert when it comes to creating and performing puppet characters. LazyTown must have been his best known show for he worked alongside Aymee Garcia, Jodi Eichelberger, and Julie Westwood, to name a few. Recently, he puppeteered in the Ghostbusters: Afterlife film, a Manscaped commercial, Babylon, and While Mortals Sleep. Ronald is another puppeteer who traveled the world to perform, from New York to Iceland to Kenya (No Strings International). I think that Binion is married to another puppet builder, Carol Binion. I'm not sure if it's true, so I would like to see proof that they are together. He must be related to her in some way, but I do not know that for sure. Ronald Binion, you are a genius at designing, building, and performing many puppets, though it would make more sense if you work with the Muppets more. I'm saying you got to work with the Muppets as a puppeteer rather than a designer and builder. Keep the LazyTown memory forever and think about how much healthier you are from working on that show. Please remain a happy and especially healthy man Ronald. You'll be in the Muppet performer category someday Binion!

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...
