CapLit is a 501(c)(3) 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, our literary series pairs outstanding writing and acting talent to an audience hungry for cultural events and community in Sacramento.

CapLit’s first season launched on March 7th, 2025 at the CLARA auditorium. Our current format runs five shows a year, in March, May, July, September, and November.

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. Our latest feature is the CapLit Book Club, which launched in October 2026.
