Eric Wright

Eric Wright is a puppeteer and puppet designer/builder who served as an uncredited assistant Muppet performer on the 46th season of Sesame Street. I don't know why he didn't receive credit for assisting on the series. I think that Eric deserves another chance to work on Sesame Street and get the credit he deserves. Wright is also the founder/leader of The Puppet Kitchen, a puppet workshop that's designed to design, build, and perform puppets for screen, stage, and live activations. His company has done many projects such as Little Shop of Horrors (on Broadway), Brainchild, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and Loren the Robot Butler, just to name a few. He had the chance to work alongside many puppeteers such as Peter Linz, Paul McGinnis, Lindsey Briggs, and more. Eric Wright has a made a puppet lion to be performed inside a zoo, something no other Muppet performer has often filmed a production at. I just wish that he would return to Sesame Street to be an additional puppeteer and maybe perform a character on the show that will give him credit. But he did some work with one of the puppet builders on Sesame Street and that's Michael Schupbach. Eric is one of the many puppeteers to have their own workshop that makes puppets. It's amazing how Wright was able to find the company and give many jobs to many people. He should be like Jim Henson and keep the company alive so that his puppets will always be remembered for the productions they performed in. Until he works on Sesame Street again, he should keep working at The Puppet Kitchen. Eric Wright, you make puppets look super tantalizing from The Puppet Kitchen and other different productions. I hope you keep on working for screen and stage for many years until you retire. And maybe think about going back to Sesame Street to be an assistant for the main performers. Until then, you're cooking up a puppet storm Eric. Great puppetry Wright!
