Evelyne Scheigam

Evelyne Scheigam is a French puppeteer who has performed Griotte on the French co-production of Sesame Street, 5, Rue Sesame. She also puppeteered Muppets on Muppets TV while her spouse Boris served as the puppet art director for that show. I wonder why Evelyne didn't puppeteer and voice any characters while working on Muppets TV. Scheigam has worked alongside other French puppeteers like Yves Brunier. Outside of both 5, Rue Sesame and Muppets TV, she and Boris both puppeteered on other children's puppet TV series that were filmed in France, like La Minute des Petites Sorcieres. It would appear that Evelyne Scheigam is another puppeteer who doesn't have a lot of information about herself just like the previous post of Dina Al-Saleh. She is also one of those rare international puppeteers to do an international Muppet show featuring entirely new material. But I wish that the Wiki would contain more info about her and her work outside of 5, Rue Sesame and Muppets TV. I also wish that Evelyne had a self portrait so people reading the Wiki around the world will know what she looks like. Perhaps someday Scheigam will perform in another Muppet or Sesame project in France and maybe then, she'd be recognized as someone famous. It might not happen today, but someday she'll have her chance in the spotlight. Evelyne Scheigam, you are another mysterious puppeteer with very few info about yourself as far as I'm concerned. But still, you've made a lot of French children very happy when doing Griotte on 5, Rue Sesame. I hope that someday the Wiki will recognize you for your talents and upload a new image of your own face and with Griotte. Don't stop doing what you do Evelyne. Swell job Scheigam!

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.

Outside of his work with the Muppets, he performed with Shari Lewis on Lamb Chop's Play-Along and The Charlie Horse Music Pizza. 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...
