Pam Severns

Pam Severns is a puppeteer, puppet builder, and filmmaker who is known for making YouTube videos as well as writing, directing, and performing on her own projects. She also puppeteered on episodes of the TV series Stan Against Evil, but most of her work was within online videos. Pam didn't work on any Muppet productions, but she has been interviewed by Muppet puppeteer Grant Baciocco on his podcast Under the Puppet. Severns also wrote, directed, and performed on numerous shorts such as Bunnies Are People Too, Murray at the Massachusetts Independent Film Festival, The Date, and more. It's a shame she never puppeteered on any other television series besides Stan Against Evil because television gives someone more opportunities. I saw an image of her kissing an Oscar the Grouch puppet, which means this woman has heard of Sesame Street. Actually, Pam Severns has worked with the Henson Company at the 2016 Puppets for Puppetry event honoring Dave Goelz, according to an interview. She got to meet Brian Henson as well as other Muppet performers, which must have been a dream come true for her to perform with her heroes. It's not often that a puppeteer would be selected by the Henson Company to do an event. Hopefully at some point in the future, Pam will be asked by the company again to perform on a future production, whenever that is. As long as Severns keeps herself busy, that's what matters. I hope she'll always remember that Puppets for Puppetry event and meeting "the" Dave Goelz. Her story from that interview on that particular event may be funny, but I believe it's all worth it. Pam Severns, you've done great making and performing on videos and shorts across the web. You must be proud to have met legendary Muppet performers in 2016 at that event honoring Goelz himself, a true legend. Keep writing, directing, and puppeteering on shorts and videos you make in your time. You really are full of surprises Pam. That's what's makes a puppeteer incredible Severns!

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...

Claire Roi Harvey

Claire Roi Harvey is a puppeteer and performer whose only Henson Company show she ever worked on was The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. I don't know why she hasn't performed in other Henson projects or even assisted the Muppets for Muppets Most Wanted. Clare has been a puppeteer for film, TV, theatre, and commercials. Outside of The Dark Crystal, she has worked on various other projects such as Feeling Better, three Star Wars films, and Doctor Who, to name a couple. She must have been pretty lucky to work with many creature/puppeteer teams bringing incredible characters to life. Harvey at least had a chance to perform with many Muppet puppeteers such as Damian Farrell, Brian Herring, Dave Chapman and many more. Claire is probably a pretty busy woman to perform in many productions either on-screen or on-stage that feature puppetry. She seems to be like most Muppet performers, and that's performing well with both children and adults for television and film. Harvey also does...
