| abstract | - After nine seasons as a lead puppeteer with Bil Baird Marionettes, she accepted a long-standing offer from Jim Henson to join the Muppets. In 1978, Felgemacher puppeteered on Sesame Street during its 10th season, performing various Anything Muppets (including a little girl with a pet hamster in "We're a Family", and a house-painter in "The People in Your Neighborhood"). Felgemacher also was an additional Muppet performer on The Muppet Movie. Shortly afterwards, she left to create Flexitoon. In her time with Baird, she starred in every production, including two that were written especially for her: retellings of Pinocchio (in which she played the title role) and Alice in Wonderland (which featured music composed by Joe Raposo). Recently, Flexitoon produced The Hamptoons, which aired for two years on PLUM-TV. Her comedy short "Loopy Sloop" was an official selection at the KIDS FIRST! Film & Video Festival.
