The Cover of Life held over for another weekend

The Cover of Life held over for another weekend

The Cover of Life by R.T. Robinson has been extended over Memorial Day weekend with performances on May 27, 28, and 29. The story takes place in 1943 when Tood, Weetsie and Sybil, all married to a Cliffert brother, are living with their mother-in-law while their husbands are serving in WWII. A local reporter’s story about the wives keeping the home fires burning in rural Louisiana, catches the attention of Life Magazine. War correspondent and photographer Kate Miller, who is assigned to head south and get their story for the cover, gets more than she bargained for. Filled with laughs and charm, The Cover of Life is a deeply affecting story about the struggle for self-worth. 05/26/2022 12:00 AM
