Andrea Gilletti

Andrea Gilletti is a puppet designer and builder who has done freelance work within the Creature Shop since 2014 creating puppets, costumes, and props for numerous shows and events. Some of the projects she did include the 46th season of Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, Slumberkins, and Five Nights at Freddy's. Andrea also served as a utility puppeteer on Five Nights at Freddy's alongside various other performers like Brett O'Quinn, Sarah Sarang Oh, Artie Esposito, and Russ Walko. Gilletti is also a production assistant on outside productions such as The Electric Company (reboot) and many game shows like America's Got Talent and American Idol. She even has her own social media account known as Wax Moon, where she makes spooky props in the form of wreaths and other things involving Halloween. I hope things don't get too spooky for the Creature Shop because she appears to be a pro at it and the Creature Shop does tend to do eerie productions sometimes. Other designers Andrea Gilletti worked with include Andrea Detwiler, Robin Walsh, Amanda Maddock, and Rachel Burson, to name a few. It's amazing that she managed to be a production assistant on several musical game shows over the years especially ones that are still going on today. She's probably going to continue being a freelancer for the Creature Shop on future productions, you never know what the company does next. Before the FNAF film got taped, Andrea probably got trained to perform a puppet by one of the main people. Let's hope that someday Gilletti will receive more puppetry training, that is if she wants to. She seems to be much happier designing and building puppets, costumes, and props within the Creature Shop, but doing more puppetry is just a suggestion. Either way, she is another spooky person to work with puppets, one of the others being the dead Brock Winkless. Andrea Gilletti, you're doing a great job as a freelancer for the Creature Shop. You're also incredible with posting under Wax Moon on social media. Keep working and maybe consider giving puppetry another shot, if you want. Great job Andrea. "Boo-tiful" Gilletti!

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

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
