Kenneth Brown
Kenneth Brown is one of Western
Canada’s most prolific writers for the theatre. Of his eight one-man
shows, four have had national broadcasts in Canada and one in Germany.
Sparks (Feuer und Flamme) and North of America (Nach
Manitoba) have been translated into German, while Life After
Hockey has been translated into French and German. As an actor,
he has toured to nearly every place in the country large enough to support
a theatre, and has toured in four countries abroad. Ken was trained
at the National Theatre School and holds an MA from the University of
Alberta. His teaching work at Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton has
gained him friends and colleagues across the country, and lately he
has devoted much time to directing and developing the works of young
playwright-actors like Sheldon Elter (Metis Mutt), the Ribbit
collective (Be A Man, Be a Man With Girls), and the up-and-coming
Janel Snider. He also directed Boy Groove, Chris Craddock’s
brilliant boy band play. His most recent one-man show, Lewis Lapham
Live, was based on the editorial writings of the brilliant Harper’s
editor who is one of the Bush Administration’s most eloquent critics.
Ken lives and works in Edmonton.
