Ralph Covert has co-authored several plays with G. Riley Mills. Their full-length epic, "Sawdust & Spangles," won them the 1997 Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Work.   A historical drama revolving around the life of American circus pioneer W.C. Coup, the play was a compelling vision of the exhilarating and oftentimes dangerous and harsh life in a traveling circus in the late 1800's.   Their second joint effort, "Streeterville", was a historical drama based on the life and times of an almost mythical Chicago character, "Cap" Streeter. Produced by the TimeLine Theatre company, it also won a Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Work.

Ralph also composed the music for the play, and performed with a live seven-piece band for its premiere this past May. There are plans to re-mount the production in Spring of 2002, with a full studio album of the music to be released in 2002.
