Stories on Stage Sacramento

December 18, 5:00 pm, live via Zoom
Five 2020-themed submissions from Northern California writers!
- actors will be announced soon -

Join Stories on Stage Sacramento for our last performance of 2020!
We put out the call for stories and essays on the theme "2020" from local, Northern California, writers, and they delivered, abundantly. Our judges (the four Stories on Stage Sacramento Board members) were challenged to choose just five pieces for this last performance of the year.

Now that we have our five stories, we couldn't be more pleased. This group of authors, and the topics that inspired their work, are as diverse and varied as this challenging, startling, at-times terrifying, undoubtedly unforgettable, year has been.

And our authors are . . . imagine a drum roll . . .

Elison Alcovendez and "#girldad"
Maia Evrigenis and "Just Another Day at School"
Diane Kallas and "My Teeth Will Go On"
Deborah Pittman and "Dear Neighbor"
Kevin Sharp and "The Coffin"
Actors to be announced soon!

We promise you an hour of stories and conversation that will by turns move you to laugh, cry, nod your head in agreement and commiseration, and, above all, to reflect on what a long, strange trip this year has been . . . and it isn't over yet.

Watch for Sue Staats' and Jessica Laskey's interviews with our December 18 authors and actors,
coming soon via the Stories on Stage Sacramento blog
AND
Stay tuned for updates on our SOSS 2020 anthology (alas, not in time for holiday gifting)
The anthology will include the five stories performed on December 18,
with additional stories to be selected from a very strong pool of received submissions -

Find the books featured on Stories on Stage Sacramento at Capital Books on K, our local bookseller partner, and receive postcard-sized art of the bookstore and their neighbor, the Crest Theater. Free with your book(s). Heidi and Ross Rojek have been getting stories to readers in Sacramento and beyond much faster than the big guys during this crisis, so let's reward them for that!

In addition to mail order and curbside pickup, the store is now open, so you can browse again (appropriately masked of course!)

Capital Books & Crest Theater, by Kyle Thaw and his mother, Heidi Rojek. This beautiful artwork FREE with your book purchase!
