Aloha Theatre created and presented a new award, The Sherry Bracken Award, for support and promotion of the theatre in the community at large and presented it to its first recipient during the annual Volunteer Mahalo Party on Aug. 4.
Appropriately, local media personality Sherry Bracken of KWXX Radio was the awardee.
“I was stunned to have such an award named after me since most such honors are posthumous,” said Bracken. “But in all seriousness, I am very honored and excited to receive such a lovely tribute. My husband and I started going to plays at the Aloha Theatre right after we moved to Kona 25 years ago, and the productions have continued to delight us both. I feel it’s important and a critical responsibility to support local community theatre on the island.”
Aloha Theatre in Kainaliu is a nonprofit, charitable organization dedicated to providing quality live theatre experiences and performing arts education opportunities to the West Hawaii community. For more information, call 322-9924 or visit AlohaTheatre.com.
