This Shakespeare Theatre Group allows youth to be exposed to the arts and gives them the opportunity to learn, work on self-esteem and give back to their community by performing at nursing homes and senior centers. ” —Judge Troy Braswell BY MARY RUTH MAROTTE SUBMITTED PHOTO Recently I was able to talk with Judge Troy and Karla Braswell about their involvement with Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre and their upcoming role as co-chairs of our annual Bard Ball, which will be held February 1st onstage and backstage of Reynolds Performance Hall. It was obvious to me when selecting co-chairs that these two were the ones for the job. Our past co-chairs have included folks like Brad Lacy, Lori Quinn, and President Houston and First Lady Jenny Davis. Clearly all of these Conwegians share a passion for our community, for UCA, for the arts, and for the common good. Troy and Karla exude such dedication, so I wanted to get to know them better. If we were all as committed as they are, there would be no limit to the great strides we might make. Here is some of what I’ve learned about this wonderful couple and their dedication to the arts in our community: How did you become acquainted with AST? Karla: We first became acquainted with AST when we moved back to Conway and saw performances taking place throughout the community. Troy: As the juvenile court judge, we partnered with AST to create a program for at risk youth. This Shakespeare Theatre Group allows youth to be exposed to the arts and gives them the opportunity to learn, work on self-esteem and give back to their community by performing at nursing homes and senior centers. It’s always fun to see a kid upset that they are going to some boring class and then come back smiling about what they have learned and their new found interests. What about AST ‘s mission speaks to you? Troy: AST’s mission to engage and enrich the community goes hand in hand with juvenile court’s mission to engage the community to provide support for at risk youth and their families. We live in an amazing community. Individually, we each have a responsibility to give back, serve and provide opportunities for others. When organizations like AST and Juvenile Court partner, we see real reform and change in lives. This has a long term benefit for us all. Do you have a history in theater? Karla: While neither of us have a strong history in theater, we did meet in a theater class while attending UCA. Obviously, theater has had a greater impact on our lives than we realized! We also attended a show on Broadway a couple of years ago and really enjoyed the experience. As co-chairs of the Bard Ball, what do you hope to accomplish? Troy: We want to help bring awareness to the overall mission of AST, highlight AST’s impact in juvenile court, and encourage people that have never been to the Bard Ball to attend. The entire experience is truly unique for our community. Karla: Theater class brought us together 20 years ago. We want Conway to see how AST and theater brings people together to make a difference. Favorite Shakespeare play? Favorite musical? Troy: Macbeth(obvious political connection there, huh?); Karla prefers Romeo and Juliet faulknerlifestyle.com 61
