The play is written by R.T. Robinson and being directed by Randy Wachtel. The play is about three brides in rural Louisiana in 1943 who are married to three brothers who are off fighting in World War II. LIFE Magazine sends reporter Kate Miller to do a feature story on the girls for the cover of LIFE. Kate spends a week with the women, living with them and absorbing all aspects of their daily lives and rituals. The depths of their stories and lives affect Kate more than she could have possibly imagined. Filled with charm, fun and incredible depth, “The Cover of Live” is a riveting story about the struggle for self-worth.
