Daniel J. Condon is the founder and creator of both Dconproductions (Dcon) and The Cold Lottery. Dcon is an independent film, television and theater production company founded in 2020. A man of vision, Daniel had been telling stories centered around wonderfully imaginative characters since he was a child. Dcon is now the vessel by which he shares the stories he loves with a wider audience. Dconproductions is currently in pre-production for its first short film, The Line, which will be circuiting festivals in early 2024.

The Cold Lottery is the theatrical arm of Dconproductions. New, original work written by playwrights near and far is presented to a live audience at local venues as a “cold read.” No pre-performance auditions are held. The actors in these productions are chosen “on the spot” lottery style. Their names are literally drawn out of a hat. The result is an entertaining evening during which both the performers and the audience share in the development of new, never before seen, written works.

Daniel’s goal for Dconproductions is two-fold: to give a voice to the voiceless and to create everlasting films, shows, and memories that will enhance and enrich society.
