Literary Agent:    n/a

Garry Kluger began acting at the age of 8 and continued professionally right up to the time when he realized that the last 8 roles he had auditioned for were all in the elf/leprechaun genre (not to be unexpected when one is 5'4".) So he concentrated on his writing. as a writer Garry has authored 3 books, six plays (all produced in various forms and one published.), two TV pilots, 12 documentaries, several series and over 150 live shows. He has also written for various national magazines on a variety of topics, was a movie reviewer for the Hearst Corporation on-line, and an entertainment reporter for his local paper. For television, Garry was the head writer for the FX Network show, the FX Friday Night FiX, and was nominated along with his wife Lori for a CableaCe award for one of their 10 Ultimate Guide documentaries on the Discovery ChAnnel. Garry was also a producer and writer for the original TV pilot, Office Hours.

Research:    Member of the Dramatists Guild of America (as at 2015)

1st Degree

Synopsis:
1st Degree follows the waitresses of Mandells Restaurant: Lisa, Jackie, Audrey, Rebecca, Cammy, and Tink when they find out that their favorite band, 1ST Degree, will be holding a one-night only show at a local Rock & Roll club. With no money to buy tickets, the task becomes how to get in and see their favorite group perform. When the answer comes, it's via their friends, Jesse and Peter, who will be working at the club on performance night. And, as is usually the case in situations like this, all the best-laid plans of mice and men - and Rock and Roll fanatic waitresses - usually doesn't go as all had hoped.

Aquarius Rising

Synopsis:
The Girls' Theatre Alliance of Jackson High School is preparing to start work on their annual production. This year they've chosen to perform The Vagina Monologues. The school's principal has agreed to let them do this play, as long as they cut one word from the script: Vagina. He has also given them the option to perform a "safer" play, one that's a little more "appropriate." The girls tell the principal they will perform the suggested play, but they decide to actually present the play Aquarius Rising - as a surprise. By the time Aquarius Rising gets to its opening night, the members of the Girls' Theatre Alliance will really show just what they are made of.

Walking In Space

Synopsis:
Franny Silberman is a drug addict. She has been addicted to prescription drugs for over twenty years. Her parents don't know - but her children Patti, Kirby, Matthew, and Lori do. they know and they've been picking their mother off the floor for years and keeping it quiet. But by 1972 they can no longer stand by. With no one to really turn to, Franny's kids take it upon themselves to get their mother some help before she overdoses and dies. Unfortunately in 1972, there are no "Betty Ford Clinics," and getting their mother the help necessary to become "clean and sober" is much more of an undertaking then any of them had expected. Walking In Space tells the story of how a whole family is affected by drug addiction and rehabilitation of one, and the toll it takes on all as they come out the other side.
