Pat Garrett

Pat Garrett is a British director, choreographer, puppeteer, and actress whose done Muppet and Creature Shop productions, choreographing dances and other movements. For the Muppets, she did The Muppets Christmas Carol and Muppet Treasure Island, puppeteering on the former. As for the Creature Shop, Pat choreographed both Alice in Wonderland and Jack and the Beanstalk: The Real Story. Garrett seemed to be experienced with having to choreograph films featuring puppets. Her other puppetry-related credits include Little Shop of Horrors (Frank Oz film) and Santa Claus: The Movie, choreographing for both of them. Other choreography credits put her in My Uncle Silas, Judge John Deed, Photographing Fairies, and many other TV productions. Other than choreography, Pat Garrett has acted and/or directed several shorts such as Just One More Bite, Home for Christmas, Rubbish, David, and more. Her bio on IMDb also states that she acts in several theatre shows, played lead roles in numerous films, and even lent her voice to a video game and radio play. There just doesn't seem to be anything she can't do when it comes to entertainment, whether it's puppetry, directing, choreographing, or acting. While with the Muppets, Pat worked with other performers like Steve Whitmire, Jerry Nelson, Louise Gold, and Brian Henson, to name a few. Garrett even showed her puppetry skills to an awards ceremony in 2005. To this day, she continues to act in feature films since she was cast in several ones in-development. Let's hope she will always remember working with the Muppets as well as meeting the legendary puppeteers. Pat Garrett, you're an excellent choreographer and actress since you've been doing so well since the 1980s when the stardom all began. Keep on displaying your skills and you'll go down in history. Not to mention you've never let anyone down with work. Tremendous organizing and such Pat. You're a genius Garrett!

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...
