Anna Wang

Anna Wang is an actress, puppeteer, author, and voice actress who is a performer for GLOP, where she met a lot of female Muppet performers. She is also an alumnus of the Jim Henson Company Puppeteer Fellowship, which I must say is very impressive for her. As a puppeteer, Anna is known for her work on Hanna Rochelle, Radical Cram School, and Sandwiched; she was also a writer, producer, and a music director for the former two. As for voice acting, Wang narrated the Monster Diary series and lent her voice for many commercials for brands like Learning A-Z, Nationwide, and Huntington, just to name a few. I'm glad she got to train with the Henson Company in the past, but I personally wish she would've performed on a Henson project, though technically GLOP used Henson Company puppets. Other GLOP performers she worked with include Edi Patterson, Gwen Hollander, Adrian Rose, and many others. If it's possible, GLOP should make a project, and Anna Wang would be perfect for a role of some kind, it might not happen, but you never know. She also acted on-screen within The Proverb and Contemplating Annie, though many of her other acting credits can be found on YouTube videos. I hope in the future, she'll get to perform on a Henson Company production, after all she did train with that company. Anna must be proud to be a part of GLOP with the other female puppeteers in the United States and United Kingdom. Wang is definitely considered artistic when it comes to being an author and performing artist too, whatever books she wrote. I certainly hope the book that she wrote called Auntie Kristina's Guide to Asian American Activism will become popular when released. She would definitely be a role model for Asian Americans that are treated unfairly in the US, you never know. Anna Wang, you are wonderful at both puppetry and acting as you got popular videos out of them. I'm also impressed that you're able to write a book about your culture. Keep on performing and maybe soon the Henson Company will ask you to come back and perform on a future project. Until then, be cool Anna. Be a queen Wang!

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...

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...

Bob Stutt

Bob Stutt is a Canadian puppeteer and writer whose Henson work started on Fraggle Rock. On Fraggle Rock, he served as a principal supporting puppeteer, performing episodic/background roles, and even filled in as regular characters (to pre-recorded tracks). For Sesame Street, Bob worked on the Canadian co-production, Sesame Park where he replaced Tim Gosley as Basil as well as the first Sesame Street film Follow That Bird. Stutt even assisted the Muppets within A Muppet Family Christmas and The Jim Henson Hour. Why didn't he show off his writing talents to Jim Henson? Outside of Muppets, his best known show was Under the Umbrella Tree as a writer and performer of Iggy Iguana and others. Other shows Bob Stutt puppeteered on included The Big Comfy Couch (also wrote), Today's Special, and Caillou, just to name a few. His writing credits were seen on Wimzie's House, Eric's World, Groundling Marsh, and Radical Sheep projects (ex. Ruffus the Dog). He is somewhat of an expert ...
