Sarah Lafferty

Sarah Lafferty is a puppeteer, puppet builder and costumer who built puppets for numerous Muppet and Henson Company projects. She worked on Sesame Street (credited on and off) and its specials, Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock (2nd season), The Happytime Murders, and The Muppets Mayhem. Other than building puppets, Sarah has also acted, sung, danced, and puppeteered in many theatrical productions. It is such a shame Lafferty never did those skills on any Muppet nor Henson show. Some of her theatrical shows include puppeteering "Fearzilla" for a rally hosted by Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart, as well as the short film The Never Bell, alongside Ben Durocher and Spencer Lott. She has also served as the co-captain of an award-winning dance troupe known as The Sexcamaids seen at parades. Sarah Lafferty is very creative for television but more active in the theatre based on the theatrical productions she did like Senseless! A Brick Foley Adventure. Working with Muppets and Henson Company, she got to meet lots of legendary puppet builders, besides Durocher, such as John Cody, Lara MacLean, Mary Brehmer, and James Wojtal. Hopefully she'll continue to be in the workshop for future Henson projects, whenever the projects will be announced that is. Sarah should be proud to have been in the entertainment realm since she was a teenager. Lafferty is probably most well known for her time on Sesame Street, not to mention doing The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo and specials. She has also recently been a designer/builder for Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock Live, which featured walkaround costumes and hand puppets. There is just no telling what sort of production she'll do next. Sarah Lafferty, you are incredible at building and costuming puppets for both the Muppets and Henson Company. Keep doing so, because entertainment really brings out the creativity within you. Be prepared for your next production whether it's with the Henson Company or theatres. Such sublime puppets you've done Sarah. You're a genius Lafferty!

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...
