Dear Mr. Amos,

As a regular correspondent I thought you would like to know that it's
Hamish's 20th birthday! We even gave him some butter tarts in your
honour! I'm sure he'd appreciate a note.

Have a good weekend, best wishes,

Dominic

The many sides of Kelly Lamrock: Youth advocate and former politician
hits the stage
 
 
 
 
 

The many sides of Kelly Lamrock: Youth advocate and former politician hits the stage

A love of acting and comedy complements work as an advocate, he says

Mostly the Moment Theatre Co., Lamrock's community theatre company in Fredericton, sets up their shows the night before performances begin, because everyone in the production has a day job.

"Some people play golf in their spare time," he said. "Some people play poker, some people scrapbook and I guess there's a few of us crazy folks who like to put on shows."

Lamrock, and the other actors that make up his theatre company, are performing their latest production, Almost, Maine, Saturday at the Ville in Fredericton.

"You can really do things you love doing, and don't be afraid to do something you love just because it might not be dignified," said Lamrock.

Not taking yourself too seriously is something those in politics and law should remember, according to Lamrock, and just one of the lessons that can be learned from the performing arts.

He should know — Lamrock is a former Liberal MLA who held various cabinet positions, including education, social development and attorney general. He then joined the NDP briefly before focusing on his legal practice.

He sees a crossover between his professional skills and those he has developed as an actor and stand-up comedian. 

Lamrock cites John Cleese of Monty Python fame, who, like Lamrock, holds a law degree, as saying both lawyers and comedians focus on taking a premise and following it to a logical conclusion. 

"And that logical exercise, comedy, is all about finding dissonance and absurdity in things we look at and don't think about," said Lamrock. "To find dissonance, you have to find the logic, and that's what lawyers are trained to do. So even though time-wise they're very hived off, there is some commonality." 

Lamrock first found a love of acting when an elementary school teacher challenged him to read Macbeth and rewrite it in modern English for his class to perform. A variety of roles followed all through school and university.

His first summer job was acting with the Calithumpians in Fredericton, and he stayed with them for several years. He admits to having applied to theatre schools after high school graduation and receiving call backs, but ultimately decided to keep it as a hobby.

"In the end, law school beckoned," said Lamrock, adding that he also sees community theatre as a means to creative freedom. 

"You might be acting in smaller venues, but you get to choose your shows and do things like Avenue Q, Hello Dolly and Almost, Maine. It beats auditioning for Chrysler commercials."

Almost, Maine, written by John Cariani, stars Kelly Lamrock, Eryn Frawley, Neil Mundell and Karla Pooley, playing multiple characters in an immersive play about one magical night in the fictional small town of Almost. 

The show is Saturday at 8 p.m., and all proceeds will be donated to Inclusion N.B. It's one of the ways Lamrock sees his passion for performing complementing his professional work as an advocate — he donates all proceeds from his shows to charities.

Lamrock pegs the play as a "gentle comedy," reminiscent of other feel-good small town stories such as Gilmore Girls or Northern Exposure

"I really am drawn to theatre that tells us a little something about who we are," said Lamrock.

"Sometimes it's the quieter moments in plays that we find out something a little unusual, a little quirky about a character and next thing you know we've learned a little something about ourselves.

Kelly Lamrock bolts to Dominic Cardy's NDP

CBC News · Posted: Feb 14, 2013 10:48 AM AST

"Lamrock briefly flirted with running for the Liberal leadership, but ended up endorsing Michael Murphy. Murphy lost to Brian Gallant last October.

He told reporters on Thursday that one of the reasons he left the Liberals is because his centre-left ideas were being rejected by Gallant.

"Certainly the new leader has a mandate. He's made it very clear that party is going to move to the right and those things that I talked about are not part of the plan," Lamrock said.

Gallant issued a statement on Thursday saying he looked forward on working with Lamrock in the future.

"Kelly Lamrock served the Liberal party well. We are happy to see his continued involvement in provincial politics, and wish him all the best in his future endeavours," Gallant said.

"We look forward to working with him and people of all political stripes for the betterment of our province."

Cardy said the conversations with Lamrock started around his party’s pair of anti-patronage bills.

"I invited Mr. Lamrock to work with me on the anti-patronage bills that yesterday were adopted by the government. Based on our conversations it became clear we had a lot in common and that we share concerns and hopes for the future of our province," Cardy said in a statement.

The Progressive Conservative government announced on Wednesday it would introduce Cardy’s bills."

Lamrock was a better college paper editor than a politician or advocate.

I'm glad to learn that Mr. Lamrock has such a rewarding pastime. I'm sure it makes him better at his day job, too. If he were to spend every spare moment obsessing about his advocate work, he'd likely be no further ahead and might end up beating his head against the wall.

Nice pastime, and a great read Saturday story! However, my gut feeling is that if Mr. Lamrock put 1/4 of the time he invests in theatre - into his obligatory senior's advocate position - then the incredibly dangerous times are elders are facing complete with sudden LTC closures, bed backlogs, staff shortages, and excessive virally transmissible deaths - may start to gain the much-needed inquisitory support and attention that they've longingly needed and deserve.

I agree with you about the problems that seniors (and others) face. The role of the senior's advocate, according to the NB gov website is to strive to ensure that the rights of seniors and adults under protection are understood, promoted and protected. Pretty broad and non-specific. I would think there is little he can really do (esp with Higgs in charge) except when someone makes a specific complaint to him - though he might do a lot behind the scenes that we don't necessarily know about such as sit on committees and make sure seniors' issues are not left out of discussions.  
 
 
Derek Grant 
Reply to Anna Barnes 
Well, then perhaps he can look into the two recent LTC closures where the Business Entrepreneur director of those shutdown special care homes was described by Higgs as "a model for New Brunswick economic development". I think what we really need are screenings of LTC directors who ensure Person-centered care is implemented in our LTCs and nothing less. Also, would be apt to have some full disclosure to the public on these poli/health matters. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/nb-higgs-culture-shift-economy-growth-1.5597576?fbclid=IwAR2s_7f_65YoxivPA59-1qARAGUGSJp9eqUaEPnUy9PLHbSRAX5k0qgV7jQ

Reply to Derek Grant   
Sure. And it was good to see the opposition calling the government out on this - I'd also like to see PC MPs and many others speaking up as well. The culture of secrecy in NB allows Higgs and Co to get away with way too much. The thought that these highly vulnerable seniors' families now have to scramble to find them new places - far from home - is disgusting. I would prefer to see care homes run more like hospitals instead of being run by private companies. But I'm not holding my breath. 
 
 
Derek Grant 
Reply to Anna Barnes 
It's a legalese dilemma. Many of our seniors are medically discharged from hospitals to NHs only if/when they are "physically" healthy to do so. Being medically discharged to such facilities does not assess/consider their mental capacity in any way. Furthermore, the majority of our senior's residing in LTCs do not have family or friends to advocate for them. These situational facts make them extremely vulnerable to the (perceived) situation(s) that have recently unfolded in the North, and furthers the need for a full-time, at arm's length (from GNB) Senior/Legal Advocate in the most aged province in the nation.

Lamrock was appointed by Higgs; do you try to work with the King or buck the system and be sent packing?
 
 
Derek Grant 
Reply to Michael Cain
Under the dire state of affairs, and with the several serious incidents and pandemic repercussions that have happened and/ or that are playing themselves out under his (senior's) advocacy - some 'acting', or at the very least a full analysis report for our seniors would be timely and beneficial. They are all in attendance and awaiting his 'performance'. Contrary to the article headline, his obligation to the aging population of NB is not just as "youth advocate".
