Kyona Levine Farmer, a local director and founder of SparKyL Entertainment, recently spoke with me about her latest production upon one of Orlando’s most prestigious stages, and the coast-to-coast journey that brought her there. “I wanted to write to perform,” says Levine Farmer. “I love new perspectives on stories, [and] there are particular stories that are specific to African Americans, or a certain type of culture or race,” says Levine Farmer. “I am drawn to just a good story,” says Levine Farmer. “We want hope, and we want stories that will require a conversation,” Levine Farmer says of her script selection process.
