Autorenporträt
Steve Galluccio began his career in the Montreal underground theater scene in 1990. He burst into the mainstream with Mambo Italiano, one of the most successful plays in Canadian theater history. The play was made into a feature film, which became an international hit, sold in more than 53 countries, including the United States. Galluccio followed Mambo Italiano with the Gemini Award¿winning series TV series Ciao Bella. Filmed in both French and English, Ciao Bella played on the CBC and Radio Canada. Ciao Bella was also broadcast in Europe and the United States. Gallucciös second feature film, Surviving My Mother, won the audience favorite award at the Montreal Film Festival, and was featured in many prestigious film festivals the world over. Gallucciös third feature, the bilingual Funkytown, opened in January 2011 and grossed over $1.5M. In Piazza San Domenico, Gallucciös ninth play was the number one comedy in Montreal in the fall of 2009, selling out most of its extended run. The play was performed in Germany in 2011. In 2012 Galluccio, released his first book, Montréal à la Galluccio, a whimsical guide to his beloved hometown. Gallucciös new play, The St. Leonard Chronicles, opened the 2013¿14 season at Montreal¿s venerable Centaur Theatre and sold out before its run. The play was extended and went on to sell 23,000 tickets. The French version of the Chronicles, translated by Galluccio, will premiere at the legendary Theâtre Jean Duceppe in Montreal in December 2014 and will then embark on a 24-city tour across Quebec in 2015.
