Team Moxie

Stacey Siegert, Owner & Agent

Stacey Siegert, Owner, has been working since 2000 in the entertainment world. Starting out as an actor, she earned a Theatre and Film degree from The University of Kansas and then made New York City her home for almost 5 years. Stacey understands actors. From what they go through in auditions to being on-set, she understands what their thought process is and all it takes to have the courage to pursue the craft of acting.

While in NYC, she found she had a passion for the business side of the industry. She worked in the marketing department at The Blue Man Group, assisted actors as a Business Consultant at TVI Actors Studio, assisted in casting for Law & Order: SVU, and worked as a Manager in the Creative Division at Wilhelmina Models. Stacey’s career has spanned all aspects of the entertainment business.

Shortly after returning home to KC in 2005, Stacey became a Sr. Broadcast Agent at Exposure Model & Talent Agency where she invested 7 years developing actors and booking talent. During her time at Exposure, she decided to branch off, creating a company where she went one step further in molding actors by providing workshops for actors taught by local industry professionals. She called this company, Actors with Moxie, LLC.

Since 2009, Stacey has been producing workshops and creating curriculum geared toward the business minded actor, essentially teaching them to consider and conduct themselves as a small business enterprise. Workshops have included such topics as Voice over: Another Outlet for Actors, The Producer Panel, Acting with a Teleprompter, Improvisation for the Actor, Stage Combat, Audition Technique with LA Casting Director, Acting for the Camera for Kids and Teens and many others. She has also served as an adjunct professor at JCCC where she taught The Business of Being an Actor. Stacey is also a member of AAF KC Ad Club.

Celia Gannon, Director of Talent Development

After twenty years in New York City as a successful commercial, voiceover and theater actor, Celia returned to the midwest to complete her Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Positive Coaching at the University of Missouri. Using this psychology training, she has designed a series of workshops focusing on the identification of inherent strengths specific to performing artists. These workshops empower performers to infuse their craft with deeper self-understanding and connection, as well as introduce creative exploration for meaningful and lucrative parallel and supportive employment.

Celia’s passion to educate and embolden artists began during her time in NYC. In addition to her performing career, she spent seven years as part of the event and fundraising team at the Entertainment Community Fund (formerly The Actors Fund), the nation’s oldest social services organization serving the performing arts community. It was here that she saw the need for individualized performing arts career support that evolves over the lifespan of performing artists.

Along with her role at Moxie, Celia remains active in the commercial and voiceover industry with her in-home studio allowing access to clients around the country. She is the creator and executive producer of a process reality television series that will launch in late 2022. Along with her M. Ed, she holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from William Jewell College and a Performance Degree from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in NYC.
