Fredericksburg Performing Arts Institute and the Stage Door Productions Youth Actors put a Rom-Com spin on William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night a comedy about mistaken identity, love triangles, and disguise, following shipwreck survivor Viola who, thinking her twin brother Sebastian is dead, disguises herself as a male page, "Cesario," for Duke Orsino; but complications arise when Orsino's beloved, Countess Olivia, falls for Cesario, while Viola secretly loves Orsino, leading to hilarious chaos that resolves with the real Sebastian's arrival and confusion, culminating in multiple marriages and revelations. Performed by the seasoned youth actors ages 12 to adult, the audience will follow the narrator and actors who may from time to time, break that fourth wall at the stage edge. Award-winning comedic director Ray Manfredi (Man Eating Chicken, Play On, Over the River and Through the Woods, A Christmas Carol, Clue, and Hand to God) brings a different style of comedy to this classic tale, as both the audience and cast compete to see who laughs the most.

Virginia Veterans: Make Your Book This Christmas 2025

Words of Veterans

Quantico, Va. – Dec. 25, 2025 – This Christmas season, Virginia veterans are being offered a meaningful gift: the chance to preserve their military stories in a professionally printed hardcover book—at no cost. Words of Veterans was created by Alex K. Sebby, a former enlisted U.S. Marine who served from 1999 to 2003. The online platform helps U.S. Veterans document their service, memories, and life experiences in their own words. Drawing on best practices from the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress, the tool guides veterans step-by-step through writing their personal history and turning it into a beautifully bound book to share with family for generations. In celebration of Christmas 2025, Sebby announced a special initiative made possible by a grant from the Virginia Department of Veterans Services. The grant provides 1,000 vouchers for U.S. Veterans living in Virginia to have their book printed and shipped free of charge. “This is about honoring service and making sure veterans’ voices are never lost,” said Sebby. “Too many stories disappear because they’re never written down. This program preserves those stories for families and future generations.” Veterans write their story at their own pace using the Words of Veterans platform. Once complete, the book is professionally printed as a high-quality hardcover and shipped directly to the veteran. To qualify, veterans must live in Virginia and redeem a voucher before the program deadline. All books must be printed and shipped by March 31, 2026. Vouchers are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Veterans can redeem their free book using the voucher code FreeBook. For more information, visit www.WordsOfVeterans.com / email Alex@WordsOfVeterans.com / or call 571-494-5106. Semper Fi, Alex K. Sebby
