  3. The Cover of Life


THE COVER OF LIFE, April 29 - May 29, Tood, Weetsie, and Sybil are all brides in rural Louisiana in 1943. Each married a Cliffert brother. The men are off to war and a local news story about these young wives keeping the home fires burning intrigues Henry Luce. He decides that they belong on the cover of Life Magazine and assigns Kate Miller to the story. She has been covering the war in Europe and, though she views doing a "women's piece" as a career set-back, she accepts because it will be her first cover story. Kate spends a week with the Cliffert women, and her haughty urban attitude gives way to sympathy as she begins to understand them while coming face-to-face with her own powerlessness in a man's world. Filled with charm and fun, The Cover of Life is a deeply affecting story about the struggle for self-worth. Adults $22, Students with ID $18, Groups of 8+ receive $2 discount per ticket. Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 pm and Sunday at 2:30 pm. Tickets are available at www.wimberleyplayers.org, or by phone at 512-847-0575 Tuesday-Friday 12:00 - 6:00 pm., or in person at the box-office at 450 Old Kyle Road just 5 blocks east of town square.
