Twenty Twenty: A Stories on Stage Sacramento Anthology

Twenty Twenty: A Stories on Stage Sacramento Anthology includes 43 stories inspired by the year 2020. Essays and short stories from Northern California authors are organized under the themes Masks, Resilience, Monsters, Kinship and Time, and touch many aspects of a year that proved catastrophic beyond anyone’s imagining. The devastating toll of Covid-19, life under quarantine, the closure of schools and businesses, the murder of George Floyd, wildfires that swept the west, and more, all are touched on by diverse voices and points of view.

Special thanks to Karen Bender, Anita Felicelli, Joan Frank, Debra Gwartney, Sands Hall, Pamela Houston, Vanessa Hua, Joshua Mohr and Peter Orner, award-winning, acclaimed authors-and valued friends of Stories on Stage Sacramento-who graciously agreed to include their work in the anthology.
