I've been hearing really bad things about communication about all the USA admin type people over about the last year. I would probably take it higher and complain, asking for your original stuff back and if they can't do that then they should apologise. They're a professional company and shouldn't be sending anybodys personal data to the wrong people regardless. It's shame because it reflects badly on a lot of the puppeteers and creative people who have been with the company for a long time. As for puppetry auditions, Kevin Clash is in charge of finding new talent though maybe they only do this when they actually have projects to recruit for.
