Jennifer Bain

Jennifer Bain is a puppeteer, graphic designer, and voice actress who served as an additional performer on Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. She is probably one of the many new Canadian puppeteers to ever work in a project produced by the Henson Company. Jennifer must have been very excited to work on a reboot of the classic Fraggle Rock alongside other Muppet performers. Outside of Fraggle Rock, Bain worked as a graphic designer on the Detour and Wynonna Earp. As a voice actress, she has voice acted at Blue Water Studios in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which I guess was where she was recruited by the producers of Fraggle Rock. She in addition to regular animation, she also did anime shows. Some of the anime shows Jennifer Bain has been heard on have included Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Dragon Ball GT, and D.I.C.E.. Some other puppeteers who have also worked on anime were mainly James Murray, Brice Armstrong, and Kaori Takeda, at least so far. I wonder what other kinds of shows she's performed on that featured puppetry. If Jennifer is a puppeteer, she must've had some outside projects involving puppets. Bain should have at least have more info about herself on the Muppet Wiki, since a page about her was just added. At least she is considered a puppeteer for the Henson Company and that's all that matters, at least until there's more puppet info. She probably assisted the Fraggle Rock performers again on the second season of the reboot. Jennifer Bain, there are a lot of Canadian puppeteers, but you seem to impress me by dubbing for anime shows. You've really outdone yourself assisting on Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, alongside other performers like Russ Walko and Anna Cummer. I hope you'll keep puppeteering for the streaming services as well as regular TV. Until then, keep on working and you'll do great Jennifer. And always remember to have hope within yourself Bain!

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.

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...
