Tread the Boards of Camden Road

Broadway, 42nd Street, Sunset Boulevard and Camden Road. What do these roads have in common? Well as of this time next year all will be musicals! Currently in the early writing/production stages, producers are looking for material and actors to create the extravaganza that is Camden Road the Musical.
Together with Camden Road in Camera, the musical is being created to celebrate the history of this eclectic street. Provisionally based around the Camden Electric, a cinema that opened on the road in 1909 the musical could merge with film and the theatre to create a big singing and dancing production , it all sounds very interesting. So if you fancy contributing in some way, be it large or small, call 07847 723430 or e-mail john12oram@aol.com.
Meanwhile you can contribute straight away by participating in Camden Road in Camera. This is going to be an exhibition held outside on the street to celebrate the interesting history of the road and the organisers are after old photographs and film showing Camden Road through time to complete the project.
Fifty photographs will be displayed as huge posters hung from lampposts, shop fronts, walls, windows and gardens close to where the old photographs were taken. There will also be an exhibition wall where every picture donated will be displayed, so every contribution will be used. If you have an image to contribute call Cath Hylton on 07847 723430 or e-mail camdenroad@hylton9.wanadoo.co.uk. Also this collected material will be garnered together to inspire a professional playwright and musician to create the musical. I think you'll agree this is going to be something great to look forward to next year and will really inject some life into this rather overlooked part of town.
