Kim Snodgrass

Kim Snodgrass is a puppeteer, voice actress, and puppet builder who has worked with Animax Designs for four years on projects like Trollies and Wish*a*Roo Park. She hasn't done any productions featuring Muppets, but she has worked with puppeteers who have, Chuck Fawcett, Eddie May, Jeff Conover, and John Kennedy. It's a shame Kim doesn't have a lot of information about herself online since she hasn't done much puppetry after 1995. However, Snodgrass does have a LinkedIn account that can be found online by looking up her full name, including her real last name Stacey. Though I wish she assisted the Muppets when she had the chance but then again, they haven't filmed anything in Tennessee. Perhaps if she still kept in touch with one of the puppeteers from Animax, either May or Conover, they would've told her all about them and the Henson Company. Kim Snodgrass is now a professional teacher/sub and homemaker for the Laramie County School District, according to her LinkedIn account. She appears to be one of those former puppeteers to have transitioned to education, which means, she could have lost her interest in puppetry. But if she still keeps in touch with Chuck Fawcett on LinkedIn, maybe there is still some puppet skills within her. You never know when someone like Kim will show off her puppetry again, though she's probably forgotten how to by now. Even though Snodgrass no longer does Animax Designs, she still kept in touch with Fawcett and other key performers. Other puppeteers who are also teachers like her include Ruth Danziger, Carol Sterling, Michael Yuro, and Ronnie LeDrew. No matter what type of job this woman does, she'll be known as a puppeteer on this blog. Kim Snodgrass, you've done pretty well with Animax Designs from 1991-1995. Despite not performing with the Muppets at all you still got to meet a few on some of your projects. Now continue to be a teacher for Laramie Country School District since you're still doing well. You're great at education Kim. Top class Snodgrass!

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...
