CapLit is a reading series and literary organization founded in Sacramento, CA in 2025. Created by Stories on Stage Sacramento Founder Valerie Fioravanti, long-term Director Sue Staats, and former Stories on Stage Davis Co-Director Naomi Williams, we pair outstanding writing and acting talent to an audience hungry for cultural events and community in Sacramento. We are in the process of finalizing our 501c3 nonprofit status.

CapLit’s first season launched on March 7th, 2025 at the CLARA auditorium, featuring excerpts from the anthology Sacramento Noir. We followed with three more events in May, July, and September. Our 2026 season premieres on Saturday, March 21st.

In addition to its role as a reading series, CapLit is a hub for literature and writers in Sacramento. Our first workshop, launched in January 2026, filled quickly. As we move forward, there will be more writing workshops and opportunities to socialize, network, and grow as writers in community.
