The Lone Star Theatre, Wimberley High School’s One Act Play and theater program, is continuing their success as they advanced to the Area Round of Competition with their performance of the play “The Marriage of Bette and Boo” by Christopher Durang.

“The Cover of Life” by R.T. Robinson opens on the Wimberley Players stage April 29 and runs through May 22. Tood, Weetsie, and Sybil are all brides in rural Louisiana in 1943. Each is married to a Cliffert brother. The men are off to war, and a local news story about these young wives keeping the home fires burning intrigues Life Magazine editor Henry Luce. He decides that they belong on the cover and assigns reporter Kate Miller to the story. She has been covering the war in Europe. Though she views doing a “women’s piece” as a career setback, she accepts the assignment because it will be her first cover story. Kate spends a week with the Cliffert women. 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.

Our poor plants are struggling with the meager rainfall and late freezes. I keep a plant diary and most plants are at least three weeks late in blooming. However, I noticed my Carolina Jasmine vine is blooming. There are flowers on the Agarita and Texas Mountain Laurel. All three of these plants are evergreen, drought tolerant and grow in either full sun or part shade.
