Andrew Tolson The City of Jonesboro A Heart for the Arts Sophie is Donna’s daughter in this story. At the beginning, she begins a song, and is interrupted. I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything. If you see the wonder of a fairy tale, you can take the future, even if you fail.
I appreciate these lyrics. Good lyrics are succinct, pointed, and often bring vivid images to the listener. But great lyrics can also have varied meanings depending on whom is applying them. For Sophie, her dream, at the time, is to know her father. Dreams are funny things. They can be bold and firm one day and meaningless the next. Dreams change with our priorities, because as we learn and grow, what we value can change, too.
When I first learned about The Foundation of Arts, I thought I knew theatre and how complex and meaningful it could be. I had gone to school to learn about it, and with my small children in tow, I had a dream to work in it, stretch my wings, and teach people a thing or two about what I knew. Ha! As I write this, I’ve honestly forgotten how many years ago that was, or even when my dream began to change.
Today my dream is larger than stretching my own wings. With the scores of people I’ve gotten to work with over the years, I’m learning how much this little place can deepen our community and grow the landscape of what we all have in common. I look at the experiences people share with each other because this thing called the FOA exists, and I wonder if the hundreds of people whose lives have been touched by the mission here would be as rich or blessed without it. My dream is for more people to fully realize the potential of depth and complexity in the simple mission of the Foundation of Arts: to enrich the lives of our community through the arts. Working with my daughter, Elea, has been a joy that will stay hidden in my heart when I am very old. I remember our years together as she has grown up in this theater, and Donna’s words, Sleep in our eyes her and me at the breakfast- table, barely awake I let precious time go by, make me push back the tears. How much precious time do we all let go by?
I chuckle at myself all those years ago as I wanted to teach people a thing or two. Donna continues with, Each time I think I’m close to knowing, she keeps on growing, slipping through my fingers all the time.
Many of the great people at the FOA over the years (including even my own children) have been my teachers all this time. Sophie’s song concludes with, “I believe in angels something good in everything I see.”
Thank you to all the angels and the immense good at this little place. Dreams certainly are funny things.
I hope you have lots of fun tonight. Grab this time, and sing and dance if you can!
With a Heart for the Arts, Kristi

Maranda Nichols Matt Ball Damon Wright Support The Foundation of Arts because we…
• Believe that engaging in the arts grows people and unites community
• Help people, and each other, learn discipline, teamwork, creativity, and focus through arts experiences - which arms them for success in any field
• Provide disciplined creative arts study and experiences trying our best to enable everyone to learn, regardless of their ability to pay
• Are a place for children and adults to participate in goal-oriented arts-study, in a non-competitive and technique-based environment
• Serve at least 500 families per week through arts education, theatre, and outreach activities
• Offer community theatre with ten different productions per year including The Nutcracker Ballet, musical theatre, and children’s theatre
• Stand alone as an arts organization in Northeast Arkansas that provides live theatre at relatively low ticket prices for thousands of patrons each year—and a Pay What You Can performance for each show so that everyone can grow from live theatre
• Work with adults and children with disabilities through the arts, allowing them the opportunity to perform annually on stage
• Bring an annual count of 55,000 trips into downtown Jonesboro for our community
• Need your support—ticket sales and class tuition support only about half of what it takes to serve Northeast Arkansas and the more than 20,000 people we positively affect annually
• ARE YOUR COMMUNITY
