According to her website, “Megan Hicks survived the Baby Boom with her sense of humor intact.” She lives in Fredericksburg, Virginia, where she writes, tells stories, produces award-winning audios, teaches origami, and makes trash art. Megan is a direct descendant of Scotch-Irish peasants, who tells original & traditional stories, folk & fairy tales (intact & fractured), historical fiction, literary tales, family stories, and ghost stories ranging from pleasantly shivery to truly grisly. Exposed at a tender age to oilfield humor, tv evangelists and fairy tales, she brings this quirky legacy to storytelling audiences of all ages. Visit her website at www.meganhicks.com.

Young Richard comes from a very talented family of ten. At the tender age of 9, Richard did a home-school project of a living history presentation. Since he had a love of the Civil War, he decided to do a presentation on a lesser known "hero", Sgt. Richard Kirkland “The Angel of Marye’s Heights.” Richard did such a wonderful portrayal, that he caught the eye of Michael Aubrecht, a Virginia historian and author who introduced him to filmmaker Clint Ross. Richard has had numerous opportunities and occasions to re-enact his presentation and has been invited to perform in additional theatrical presentations since.
