After making his writing-directing stage debut at downtown Jacksonville's Boomtown Subterranea with their 2005 production of Plan Nine from Outer Space: The Rip-Off, Steven Bailey has returned to Boomtown to collaborate with the acting ensemble of Pulp Fiction Theatre. Steve has written all of PFT's current playlets and has supporting roles in them as well.
Bailey, a Jacksonville Beach resident, has over 20 years of experience as a local movie and theater reviewer, having written for the Jacksonville publications Time Out and Folio Weekly, and a short-lived Los Angeles publication, The Westwood Insider. He has been writing weekly movie reviews for The Beaches Leader for the past ten years, which work has earned Bailey two consecutive first-place awards for written criticism in the Florida Press Association's annual "Better Newspaper Contests" of 2003 and 2004. All of Bailey's movie reviews can be found on-line at Epinions.com.
Bailey's other brushes with fame include his frequent quoting in Roger Ebert's bi-weekly "Movie Answer Man" column (including a quote in Ebert's book Questions for the Movie Answer Man [Andrews McMeel Publishing, 1997]), and his 1988 interview with one of his lifelong idols, legendary animation director Chuck Jones, which can be found in the book Chuck Jones Conversations (University Press of Mississippi, 2005).
Bailey would like to publicly acknowledge Boomtown, the wonderful cast of Pulp Fiction Theatre, and (most of all) his wife and children, for continuing to indulge his offbeat contributions.
