Making Mochi on the Moon

Making Mochi was produced in Orem City in September of 2013. Special guest artist Motoko, a nationally known storyteller and mime artist was on site for rehearsals, performances, and guest lectures.

Miko is caught between her father’s Japanese ways and the American culture she knows and loves. Following Pearl Harbor, she is ripped from both worlds when she is sent to the Topaz War Relocation Center. Miko and her new friend Betty are caught in the forces that swirl around them as they struggle to find a place to stand.

Join the Resonance Story Theatre for these special dramatic readings of Wendy Gourley and Motoko Dworkin’s award-winning play. It performs as part of the Orem Library’s event “A Voice from the Camp.”

Making Mochi on the Moon was made possible through a generous grant from Orem City CARE program.
