Ali DeRegt

Ali DeRegt is a Canadian puppeteer, devisor, and clown who served as one of the additional puppeteers on Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. She must have felt so excited to be chosen to assist on the reboot of the legendary Henson Company production. Other performers Ali worked with include Brendan James Boyd, Reese Scott, Jennifer Bain, and Genevieve Pare, to name a few. Outside of Fraggle Rock, DeRegt is the co-founder of a devised theatre company called HOT TRASH! Theatre, where they focus on DIY aesthetics, physical storytelling, and general nonsense. Some of her collaborations include Verb Theatre, Lunchbox Theatre, Mudfoot Theatre, and The Green Fools, all theaters based in Calgary. Besides doing puppetry, she also lent her voice to the anime series World Trigger (the English dubbed version) and did props for the mini-series Summer Monster. Ali DeRegt seems to do so much more than puppeteer, but it all depends on the project she gets called for and what the producers decide. In addition to performing, she also teaches acting, clowning, and puppet building/performing for both children and adults. It's no wonder she was one of those lucky performers selected to do Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, she has done so much in her career. Let's hope Ali will continue to offer workshops as well as do performances for the near future, because you never know when she'll do another Henson Company show. You should never underestimate a woman like DeRegt, she has so much talent Muppet Wiki doesn't know about, at least not yet. Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock will be her big break for television puppetry, I don't know if short films or mini-series count. People could even be influenced by her to do so much more than just one career, like a puppeteer could also teach the very topic or something else. Ali DeRegt, you're doing wonderful as a puppeteer, clown, and teacher. Keep on performing and doing Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock, since it's making you recognized by the Henson Company. The rock will go on as long as people like you help the main performers keep the show going. Excellent Ali. You're a knockout DeRegt!

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...
