Spotlight on Ashley Hasker: Portraying Karen in Love Brought Me Back
Ashley Hasker is captivating audiences with her powerful portrayal of Karen in the thought-provoking play Love Brought Me Back, produced by Wisdom Productions LLC. This production not only engages viewers with its heartfelt narrative but also serves as a profound exploration of love, communication, and the complexities of marriage.

The Role of Karen
In Love Brought Me Back, Hasker brings to life Karen, a millennial woman who embodies the ideal of a modern “fairytale” life. She is career-driven and aspires to have the perfect job, partner, and family. However, as the story unfolds, Karen faces significant challenges that force her to confront her expectations and the realities of her life. Hasker describes her character as someone who experiences a profound “wake-up call,” emphasizing that even when life seems to be going according to plan, unforeseen hurdles can disrupt everything.
Hasker explains why she was drawn to this role: “My role as Karen is very relatable. She’s a God-fearing woman who thinks she has everything figured out. But through this journey, she gets her wake-up call. You can have everything going to plan, and then one hurdle comes or a couple of hurdles come, and you think everything that you’ve been through is for nothing.” This sentiment underscores the play’s core message about resilience and growth through adversity.
Themes of Love and Redemption
Love Brought Me Back is more than just a narrative about relationships; it celebrates love’s resilience. The story revolves around a husband grappling with his past mistakes and striving to win back his wife. Through humor and raw emotion, he embarks on a transformative journey that highlights the importance of self-discovery and redemption. As audiences witness his struggles and triumphs, they are reminded of the lengths one will go to reclaim love.
Hasker emphasizes that her role allows her to convey an essential message: tests and trials are necessary for personal growth. “I feel like this role drew me because it allows me to deliver a message to others that these times are needed; tests are needed,” she reflects. “Sometimes God pushes you through these tests so that you can strengthen yourself for what lies ahead.” This theme resonates throughout the play as both characters navigate their emotional roller coasters in pursuit of understanding and forgiveness.
