From Page 2 Former County Employee Is Charged with Identity Theft Fairfax County police have charged a former employee of the county’s Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) with felony identity theft with the intent to defraud. She is Leslie Y. Jones, 40, of Betsy Ross Lane in Centreville. Po- lice allege that she used a client’s personal information to fraudu- lently rent an apartment in Centreville. The DHCD began investigating in March. Then, a few weeks ago, they turned the case over to the police department’s Finan- cial Crimes Section. Detectives obtained a criminal warrant for Jones and, last Wednesday, May 26, she turned herself into the police. Detectives are asking anyone who might be a victim of a simi- lar crime involving Jones to contact Crime Solvers at 1-866-411- Photo by Bonnie Hobbs/Centre View TIPS/8477, e-mail at www.fairfaxcrimesolvers.org , text “TIP187” plus a message to CRIMES/274637, or call police at 703-691- In ‘The Merchant of Venice’ 2131.

Chantilly was also nominated for comic actor in a play, Taylor Jarrell; supporting actor in a play, Miles Drawdy; sets, Meghan Sharon, Mustafa Qarghah; fea- tured actor, Kenny Lau; and lead actor, Chris Albrigo. Centreville’s honor is for sup- porting actor in a play, Anthony Ingargiola. Noting that Westfield’s received a total of 98 nominations in its decade of existence, Theater Di- rector Scott D. Pafumi said, “I’m extremely proud and honored that we’re recognized by the Cappies in our 10th season. This year marks our eighth time in 10 years that we’re nominated for best show — which we’ve won three times.” “I’m particularly excited for Kevin and Phoebe in the acting categories, since they were born to play these roles,” continued Pafumi. “One of the reasons why it’s nice that this show is getting recognized is because our cast had a really strong bond. It was a re- ally rewarding rehearsal process.” Therefore, he said, everyone in- volved with “Brighton Beach Mem- oirs” can be proud of the nomina- tion for best play. “Being that this is our Coming of Age season, we’ve clearly shown that, in 10 years, we haven’t lost our touch or rested on our laurels,” said Pafumi. “I’m re- ally looking forward to another chance to celebrate our success at The Kennedy Center.” Chantilly Theater Director Ed Monk says he and his students are also happy with their nominations. “We’re thrilled,” he said. “The tech award encompasses all the tech kids, and the best play nomination honors all the kids who acted, so it’s really nice to get those.” He said the actors all created “in- dividual, distinct, believable char- acters that were memorable — which is why they got recognized. We were lucky to have so much depth this year. They’re very tal- ented and hardworking and have all been involved in the program for many years, so it’s nice to see them get this recognition.” Monk also noted that Albrigo has been nominated three years in a row, which is rare. He won a Cappie in 2008, for cameo actor in “Andersonville” and was nomi
