Stacey Greenberger – Writer

If Stacey Greenberger looks familiar, that’s either because you frequent the same halal cart or because she used to be on this very page as 100 Chicken’s script coordinator. Yup, she’s back! And now, she’s a writer! (If it’s the halal thing, please disregard this bio and enjoy your pita.) Stacey started out coordinating scripts for 100 Chicken’s PBS Kids series Peg + Cat and soon began writing scripts of her own. Her episode “The Compost Problem” recently won an Environmental Media Award. Stacey went on to join the writers rooms for Welcome to the Wayne and Blaze and the Monster Machines and pen scripts, both animated and live action, for several other Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. shows. She has consulted on the adaptation of an interactive picture book into a television pilot and developed a short form science franchise for Noggin. Recent projects include writing scripts and lyrics for a soon to be announced Disney Junior series, NBC Universal Kids’ Where’s Waldo?, PBS Kids’ Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, and the biggest, reddest credit of all, Clifford The Big Red Dog.
