Gary Goldstein writes for film, TV and the stage, and is also now a four-time author.
He has written 17 produced telefilms (including "The Wish List," "Hitched for the Holidays" and 2022's Hallmark Channel hit, "Lights, Camera, Christmas!") plus the indie features "If You Only Knew," "Politics of Love" and "Mr. 365." Gary has also sold or optioned many original screenplays, has a string of episodic TV credits and has sold half-hour pilots to NBC and Warner Bros TV.
He was represented on the Los Angeles stage most recently with the World Premiere of his acclaimed three-sisters dramedy "April, May & June," produced by Theatre 40 of Beverly Hills. It won five Broadway World award nominations including Best Local Production.
Other L.A. stage credits include the comedies "Just Men," "Parental Discretion" and "Three Grooms and a Bride," which all enjoyed long, well-reviewed runs. Gary's family dramedy "Curtain Call" premiered at Carmel, CA's Pacific Repertory Theatre, while "Dinner at the Harbor Reef," a drama "based on fact, rumor and Hollywood," debuted in a staged reading in 2019 at Beverly Hills' Theatre 40.
Since 2021, Gary has had three novels published: "The Last Birthday Party" (IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award for Excellence in Fiction), "The Mother I Never Had" (named one of the "Must-Read Books of Fall 2022" by Town & Country magazine), and "Please Come to Boston" (called "A beautiful take on college life and the gloriously interwoven trappings of sexual attraction and relationships" by the Bay Area Reporter). His new novel, the dogs-and-divorce comedy "Canine Custody," debuts September 2026 from Koehler Books.
Gary has also been a contributing film reviewer and arts feature writer for the Los Angeles Times since 2007.
