Agnieszka Mazurek

Agnieszka Mazurek is a Polish puppeteer and actress who performed Beata on the Polish co-production of Sesame Street, Ulica Sezamkowa. She performed on the show from 1996-2001 alongside two other Polish puppeteers; Marcin Ryl-Krystianowski and Wojciech Slupinski. Too bad for Agnieszka that the show is no longer in production since 2001, which is unknown why. Well at least Mazurek got to work on a Sesame Street international co-production. She mainly performs on stage outside, notably with the troupe Teatr Lalka since 1992. Her puppeteering roles include Little Red Riding Hood, Beauty and the Beast, MacBeth, and Snow Queen (the title role), just to name a few of them. Agnieszka Mazurek also does dub work occasionally, like video game Baldur's Gate II'. It's a shame Ulica Sezamkowa did not have a replacement since Poland could use an international Sesame Street co-production. She seems to be another puppeteer to mainly work in the theater. Agnieszka should consider performing in a Polish co-production of Sesame Street again, if there will ever be one that is. Mazurek with her co-workers are the only Polish puppeteers to ever work on an international Sesame Street production. They must hold some kind of record for that. Agnieszka Mazurek you've done a great job on Ulica Sezamkowa and you are still doing great puppeteering for theater. I hope you'll keep doing theater and maybe if Poland will have a new Polish co-production of Sesame Street, you should be one of the performers. Until then, do your best in upcoming theater shows and you'll be fine. Fantastic work Agnieszka. Live on Mazurek!

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...
