Cheri VandenHeuvel

Cheri VandenHeuvel is an actress, poet, and puppeteer who is known for acting in many theatres across America. As for puppetry, she serves as a member of GLOP (Glorious Ladies of Puppetry) and recently performed in Sketch Fest with GLOP meets GLOG (Glorious Ladies of Groundlings). Cheri is also in training with Henson's Puppet Up company, which means she could be one of the next women to work on the Puppet Up shows. VandenHeuvel is also an alumnus of The Second City-Detroit Mainstage as a teacher, writer, and performer of sketch comedy like Detroit Sandwich. Her theatre credits include King Lear, The Trojan Women, Around the World in 80 Days, To Kill a Mockingbird, and more. Some of the shows she did have got herself awarded like in Flyin' West, Low Hanging Fruit, and I Go Somewhere Else. Upon moving to Los Angeles, Cheri VandenHeuvel got brought into the world of puppetry with GLOP, meeting several female puppeteers such as Genevieve Flati, Peggy Etra, Kathryn Molloy, Adrian Rose, and many others. I for one am glad that she added puppetry to her career as well as meeting some puppeteers, most who are considered Muppet performers. She's still working with GLOP as well as the Henson Company with Puppet Up. Hopefully in the future, Cheri will get a chance to perform her own character on a future production by Henson Company or even The Muppets. Meantime, VandenHeuvel should continue to act and puppeteer on whatever's coming up or is currently happening right now. If anyone is watching her skills, they should see her as iconic and be inspired to get into the world of show business. You can never tell when that will happen in the future or not. Cheri VandenHeuvel, you are a wonderful actress, and I think you're getting the hang of puppetry with all that training. Keep acting on theatre shows and performing with GLOP. And I'm sure that with all of the effort you're putting into the company, you'll be a master puppeteer in no time. Excellent Cheri. You got glory VandenHeuvel!

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 ...
