Attorney Karen Owings is co-founder of Children's Theatre To Go. She graduated from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock with a degree in music, and earned her law degree at the UALR school of law.
Her main love is music, and as her three children were growing up she taught music as a volunteer, first at the UALR Children's Center, then as a PALS volunteer at Baker Elementary for ten years. She started and developed a music program at Baker that eventually drew in other talented volunteer teachers, and provided music to the entire school. She began taking theatre classes at UALR in 1998, with a special interest in children's theatre. She appeared as Owl in Winnie-the-Pooh, the fairy godmother in Cinderella, and played various characters in Ambushed! In Deep Space and Sweet Charity. She also performs regularly in the Gridiron productions produced by the Arkansas Bar Association.
