Stacie Craig
- Producer
- Writer
- Additional Crew
Stacie was born to write, since she couldn't sing, dance, or mime. She
originates from Los Angeles, where she started her love affair with
writing. At the tender age of 6, Stacie wrote her first novel, All
About Stacie. Then at 7, she made her theatrical debut in a play she
wrote, starred and directed, Magic Shoes. When Stacie was 9 her mother
decided to move to Southern Illinois, which is no where near Chicago.
Growing up in the Midwest helped Stacie develop her keen sense of
humor, because everything is funnier in Illinois. All through high
school and college Stacie did the normal tour of duty, as far as
writing was concerned; poems, essays, and standards. Then in graduate
school she was reunited with her soul mate, theatre. Stacie attended
graduate school at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. There
she mastered the craft of playwriting and drinking coffee at night. She
also discovered she had a passion for television, especially during
finals week. It was this passion and her Mustang that drove her back to
Los Angeles with dreams of stardom and Oscars. Back in Los Angeles
Stacie began working in the glamorous world of television, in entry
level positions. She was a production assistant, art department
assistant, writers' assistant and casting assistant. Her ability to
assist is still unmatched, even by today's standards. Stacie worked in
the entertainment industry in almost every capacity, except writer.
Therefore, after the birth of her son she gave up her Hollywood career
and became a public school teacher in South Central Los Angeles.
Although Stacie had given up on working in show business, she never
gave up her dream of becoming a writer. In between raising her son and
teaching school, Stacie continued to write scripts. As a mother and
school teacher with no social life, she and television became friends
again. She began writing for children and writing felt like it did in
the beginning, fun. These days Stacie finds herself at the Nickelodeon
Writing Fellowship not assisting, but actually writing. It's hard for
her to believe, after 8 years in the entertainment industry and 5 years
of public school teaching, Stacie is another Hollywood overnight
success story.
