The Daly News - Synopsis
Jonathan Gillard Daly, a local actor and playwright, has assembled one of his most treasured possessions into this touching musical memoir that takes us back to 1940s Milwaukee. Jon’s grandfather, Martin, created a newsletter he called “The Daly News” to keep his four sons connected to the family, while World War II kept them apart. These newsletters have been adapted into a new musical with three actor/musicians playing multiple roles.
This new musical about love and the distance between fathers and sons received a very popular public reading in September of 2007 as the inaugural presentation in our Montgomery Davis Play Development Series. |
