Brad Williams

Brad Williams was a puppeteer, designer, and teacher who was best known for being the co-founder of the Pandemonium Puppet Company. He was also well known for Pinwheel, designing and performing almost all the hand puppets. Brad has even been the main actor and a graphic artist of Hocus Focus in the credits. Williams did not perform in any Muppet project but he did work with Craig Marin and Olga Felgemacher while doing Pinwheel. For freelance work, he toured extensively doing live puppet shows, often with his personal puppet known as Zabar. I've read on Wikipedia that he's named one of the artists whose legacy inspired the National Puppetry Conference, an annual celebration. Brad Williams' life did not last very long, for in 1993 he died from being injured in a car accident. It's too bad he died so soon because he was doing so well puppeteering across America. At least he was never forgotten by those he worked with over the years and Pandemonium Puppet Company is now in a museum exhibit. Brad must be glad to know that his company will always be remembered by those who've witnessed its projects to my knowledge. Williams is probably watching everything from heaven above, you never know when someone will believe in heaven. Pandemonium Puppet Company even provided guest puppets for an episode of Between the Lions during the second season. I hope everyone still remembers the company today, for it's been a while since the company provided puppets. Brad Williams, you were excellent on Pinwheel and as Zabar for many live shows. You may be gone but I'm sure you'll never be forgotten by those who love you. Your friends and family will always make sure you'll be in people's hearts. Until then, I bid farewell to you Brad. You created a real pandemonium Williams!
