In the depths of the Dust Bowl, a strange radio personality reaches out across the airwaves, searching for something to affirm his blind faith in America. Throughout history and the future, a chorus of voices respond. Rain Follows the Plow is an embodied exploration of masculinity, identity, and the flawed concepts of American manifest destiny. Rain Follows the Plow had a workshop presentation in March of 2012. Script by Rachel Nelson, collaboratively created with Umbrella Collective.
