SUMMARY:Old Courthouse Theatre Presents: If All the Sky Were Paper
DESCRIPTION:If All the Sky Were Paper by Andrew Carroll Performances:May 14-16\, 2026\, at 7:30 p.m. May 17\, 2026\, at 2:30 p.m. The Story: After bestselling author Andrew Carroll found a riveting\, heartfelt letter written by a distant cousin deployed as a pilot in World War II\, he embarked on a trip to all fifty states and to more than thirty countries across the globe\, including two active war zones\, in search of more wartime correspondences. The letters and emails he found—by combat troops\, medics\, nurses\, and chaplains\, as well as family members on the home front and civilians caught in the crossfire of battle—came to represent to Carroll the “world’s great undiscovered literature.” They weren’t just about warfare\, he realized\, they were about the human condition itself—love and longing\, courage and resilience\, grief and hope\, compassion and mercy\, and\, ultimately\, reconciliation.
