Set in rural Louisiana during World War II, The Cover of Life follows the lives of six women thrown together by the war. Three young brides have moved in with their husbands' mother, waiting for the men to return. The family's situation is chronicled in the local press and is picked up by Life magazine, whose reporter is struggling to compete for assignments in a male-dominated world.  Robinson's play is a deeply affecting story about the struggle for and the price of self worth.

Admission to the reading is free but donations will be accepted. The performance represents a series of professional actors' workshops and scene study sessions held every Monday night from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.
