Gary Morgenstein

The novels and plays of the award-winning writer Gary Morgenstein have been featured in national media from the New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, Parade Magazine, New York Post, and Sports Illustrated to NPR and Fox News.

Author of seven novels, Morgenstein wrote the critically acclaimed dystopian baseball trilogy "The Dark Depths" (“1984 Meets Shoeless Joe”), comprised of "A Mound Over Hell", "A Fastball for Freedom" and "A Dugout to Peace", which begins in 2098 after America and the West have lost World War Three to the Islamic Empire, democracy is dead with America ruled by a totalitarian nanny-state The Family, and disgraced baseball, associated with the failed great America, begins its final season at Amazon Stadium.

He has recently launched the graphic novel series #DancingtotheWhiteHouse. In Book One, this satire about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez' political ambitions looks back at her 2020 presidential campaign which never happened, with the upcoming books humorizing her expected 2028 presidential run.

Morgenstein’s stage dramas, which have been performed throughout the United States, include the Broadway World award-winning drama "A Black and White Cookie" about the unlikely friendship between a conservative African American newsstand owner and an eccentric Communist Jew. His Perry Award-winning (Best Original Play) poignant drama "A Tomato Can’t Grow in the Bronx" illuminates a Jewish working-class family in the tumultuous 1960s.

The timely "Dancing on Glass" draws two broken families into an explosive public case of antisemitism and political bullying – and the perils of parenting - at a private school. His romantic dramedy "Walking Charlie" explores the relationship between a Venezuelan political immigrant and a struggling small business owner, who are brought together by a pug dog named Charlie.
