Fashion Week?



Okay Gossip Lovers,

Know this man?

Noooo, he’s not a model for the current Fashion Week extravaganza; though the outfit does look a bit like something Dsquared 2 is showing this very day, and he has the stance down. But no.

Hint: This furry ragamuffin blew seacoast theatergoers away playing someone three times his age, while only 14.

And it looks like he’s at it again; not that we on the seacoast will be able to experience this latest transformation outside these stills. At the ripe age of 18 – last year – he headed out to the Windy City to hone his acting skills.

Another hint: I do believe he’s the youngest actor to win a Portsmouth Herald, Spotlight Best Actor Award. (If memory serves, he was a tad better dressed for that occasion).

Figured it out yet?

Before I give you the answer let me share this tidbit : This latest transformation has the poor boy speaking in tongues – delivering his lines in GREEK. Truth!

He doesn’t understand a bloody thing he’s saying. My spies report he delivers his lines beautifully though.

To prep for the role he hit a Greek restaurant and taped an employee reading his lines. Then he gave the tape to a professor who translated it to Ancient Greek. He then learned his role phonetically. Rock on young man!

It is, of course, Camden Brown. The 2008 Oyster River grad is studying theater at DePaul in Chicago.

Camden will be home for summer break. He can't make it for auditions, but still hopes to find some theater work for the time he's here. Want to keep an artist off the streets? You won't regret it. Camden is unquestionably one of the most talented, young performers this region has produced. Remember Robby in “Warmth of the Cold,” (Players' Ring), and Thenadier in “Les Miserables," (Seacoast Rep).

Here's hoping we get a chance to see the boy do what he does best.

Yours in snooping

    "Kent and the Music Hall’s ED Patricia Lynch." it seems odd to me that you didn't mention they are married.

  2. Love Cam too!

    Sorry you found not mentioning the marriage odd, no intent other than to let their professional status stand separate. I do that when I feel it has no baring. But hey! Gossip is gossip : ) Yup, Ken and Patricia are married. Speaking of gossip, I once had a female musician VERY upset when I mentioned she was the 'wife' of another musician. - Never can win. : ) Thanks for the note. Come on back and keep me on my toes.
