Stella Cheeks aka Alexis Meuche was born tantalizingly naked, yet uncoordinated and screaming into a family of intellectuals and indulgence. As an only child, Stella grew up dancing around her bedroom and performing original plays for her parents on the fireplace. Naturally, she found the theatre at a young age and has since replaced her parents with strangers and the fireplace with a stage.

​Stella is the producer and artistic director of Plan 9 Burlesque as well as a performer. A classically trained actress turned burlesque dancer, her numbers range from the classic "Bump N' Grind" to numbers inspired by her fervent love of Geek Culture. When not performing, Stella can often be found pretentiously drinking tea and preaching the gospel of Good Omens. Stella is a hardcore Trekkie, a pro-wrestling addict, a steampunk apologist, and is always on the lookout for blue Police Boxes. Just in case. In addition to burlesque, she is the co-host and producer of two pop culture podcasts, Not Your Demographic and X-Treks - available wherever podcasts are found.
