Genevieve Flati

Genevieve Flati is an actress, puppeteer, producer, and clown who worked in various Henson Company projects. In 2019, she appeared as a member of the Puppet Up improv troupe in their shows at The Jim Henson Company Lot, performing many puppets. Genevieve's latest work with Henson was on the show Earth to Ned as an additional performer for many episodes. Flati also puppeteered on All Sewn Up, Kookamakaluka, and an episode of Big Mouth. Outside of puppetry, she has been a clown in the Ringling Brother Circus National Tour and lived on a circus train performing in tours across America and Mexico. She is one of the many puppeteers to also be a clown, others include Star Townshend, Sue Morrison, and Fred Garbo. Genevieve Flati is probably most famous for being the creator/director of (Wo)men Rule Broadway, a production which women can perform any song or role they wanted. She has also worked as a performer and puppeteer for Disneyland and Disney Junior Live on Stage for 5 1/2 years. It's like David Maida, Jeff Conover, and Brett O'Quinn, all have puppeteered for Disneyland for many years. Genevieve has even served as a producer for a recent series called WOMP & CO. Flati is very popular when it comes to working in the circus and theatre as not a lot of puppeteers could ever spend their teenage years with the circus. Puppet Up has made a good choice at picking her to be part of their troupe. She at least got to work with many puppeteers living in California. Genevieve Flati, I hope you keep on working with (Wo)men Rule Broadway and that you keep puppeteering for television and stage. You were amazing when you've performed with the circus when you were just a teen. Keep up the great work and you'll be recognized for your talents by your many fans in the future. You never know when you see someone who appreciates you Genevieve. Excellent clowning around Flati!

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...
