Johánna Crystal, Sunny's Founder, is a writer, actor, director and multiartist from Elk Grove. She holds a BA in journalism from Sacramento State. For this showcase she created, she will perform her original song, “Kahon” ("Box"). It is an ode to growing into your own person and walking away from what is not meant for you to make room for what is. Crystal has also previously acted in and directed "Water by the Spoonful" and her whimsical murder mystery, "Anything Green". Her first play she helmed through Sunny was “City of Trees”, a love letter to this city and to healing. It is now available to borrow from the Sac Public Library.
