Stories on Stage Sacramento loves “emerging” writers -- writers either on the cusp of a brilliant career, or local writers who have been quietly dazzling us for years. This month, Stories on Stage presents two such authors -- Jenn Alandy Trahan and Diane Kallas. Jenn’s a Stegner Fellow and Vallejo native: Diane’s a teacher and a longtime Davis resident. Their stories are: They Told Us Not To Say This, by Jenn Alendy Trahan, and Spud, by Diane Kallas. These tales are compelling, stunning, luminous -- truly in the spirit of our motto -- “electrifying prose, crackling theatre.”
