The Grogs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grogs is a Canadian puppet company troupe best known for their work in the CBC Television children's television show Nanalan'.

The Grogs or Grogs Inc. were founded by Jamie Shannon and Jason Hopley in 1994 in Toronto, Ontario. As a puppet troupe they are unique as they design and mould their puppets and sets as part of the creative process for writing, directing and performing in their television shows. They are present in the process from pre-production to post-production with the help of their partner Jack Lenz from Lenz Entertainment.

In addition to Nanalan', their other work has included Swami Jeff's Temple of Wisdom (Zed TV), The Grogs, Warren, Filth, Gidian, Iffer, Sorbet, Jasper and Cupcake, Al's Tales of the Tank and It's Alive! for YTV, and most recently Mr. Meaty for Nickelodeon and the CBC.
