The Daly News - About the Playwright
Jonathan Gillard Daly
Jonathan Gillard Daly is a native Milwaukeean, a graduate of Marquette University High School and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After thirty years of working as an actor throughout the United States, Jon moved back home in 1998 and rented a beautiful apartment three doors away from the Old Manse, where much of the action of THE DALY NEWS takes place.
Jon is a member of the resident companies at Milwaukee Repertory Theater and the Great River Shakespeare Festival. Favorite roles of late include Shylock in THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, Actor in THE WOMAN IN BLACK ( Renaissance Theaterworks), Lingk in GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, and Holmes in SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE FINAL ADVENTURE.
As a playwright, Jon has had his work produced at Virginia Stage Company, Sacramento Theatre Company, and PCPA Theaterfest.
A special thank-you to Michael Wright. Thanks to Michael, THE DALY NEWS is being produced in Milwaukee, where it belongs.
