Kitten Spotlight: MISS MONIKER

If you’ve ever wondered what makes a burlesque show flow seamlessly, look no further than the stage kitten—an essential role in the world of burlesque. A stage kitten is the Glamorous Assistant who sets the stage, collects costume pieces, and keeps the show running like a well-oiled machine. More than just a backstage helper, a stage kitten brings charm, wit, and a unique persona to the role, adding their own sparkle to the night.

Miss Moniker, hailing from Coquille, exemplifies the art of stage kittening and so much more. Known as a local bombshell with a vibrant stage presence, she elevates every performance she’s a part of. Whether she’s ensuring smooth transitions as a stage kitten or dazzling the crowd as an emcee, vocalist, improv artist, or actor, Miss Moniker is a true multi-talent. Her ability to blend spontaneity, humor, and elegance makes her a standout in any burlesque production.

With roots deeply planted in her community and skills that light up the stage, Miss Moniker is a shining example of the magic that happens when passion and performance come together. Next time you see her in action, don’t forget to cheer not just for the performers but for the stage kitten who makes it all possible!
