Chris Rushing, theatre student and director.

Chris Rushing directed Down Came the Rain Sunday evening at the Center for Arts and Theatre on the Georgia Southern campus.

Rushing said that he read the script and knew right away he wanted to direct it. "It was definitely something I wanted to share with my fellow members of Theatre South."

Theatre South is a student organization at Georgia Southern made up of students who love theatre.

Two Theatre South members acted in the production, Kenneth Wigly and Cameron Bryse. Wigly plays the character Brucie, who is a mentally handicapped kid. Bryse plays Brucie's older brother Michael.

Audience members walked out of the theatre in tears. "It was so heart breaking," said Caroline Lea, a Theatre South member. " Kenneth did such an amazing job."

Down Came the Rain is about two brothers, Michael and Brucie. Brucie is a very curious boy at age 14. The two brothers go on a camping trip with one another and it becomes apparent Michael has a hard time accepting Brucie. Emotions rise when Brucie ask about their mother, who died when he was born. Michael shows Brucie a picture of their mother and he accidently damages it. Michael starts screaming at Brucie and in return, Brucie slaps Michael. Before Brucie can say that he is sorry, Michael begins to fight back which ends up being a one man fight. Brucie crawls into a ball and begins to weep. Michael begs for forgiveness and and the curtain falls.
