The Morini Strad
by Willy Holtzman

DAOR members Ed Kimak and Barbara Grant have recorded a full-length script-in-hand play. Zoom made this possible even though Barbara is now in Oregon, Ed is at Rossmoor, and their director Gary Green is in Berkeley. 

The Morini Strad is based on the true story of violin maker/restorer Brian Skarstad’s stormy friendship with famed violinist Erica Morini in her final days. He repaired her Stradivarius, which was subsequently stolen in 1995 and not recovered to this day.

For a limited time you can view the play on YouTube:

The Cuban Swimmer
by Milcha Sanchez-Scott

DAOR actors Lee Gale Gruen, Jon Rasmussen, Gail Wetherbee and Gay White and  director Gary Green have completed a six-month project to produce a Zoom recording of The Cuban Swimmer, by Milcha Sanchez-Scott. The 35-minute play, about a Latino family, is written in the literary style of magical realism. 

Because the play involves much action and various sound effects, producing this script-in-hand performance was a challenge for actors working simultaneously in their separate homes.  The edited Zoom recording can be viewed on YouTube, at the link below. 

On the same link are a number of shorter plays recorded this past December and January by several DAOR actors who worked with Gary Green.
