NORFOLK, Va. - The Virginia Stage Company presents a story of love, music and environmental consciousness.

I Sing the Rising Sea is a musical focusing on sea level rise that flows through generations and across continents- from Coastal Virginia to Japan and Antarctica.

I Sing the Rising Sea received its world premiere at ODU's Goode Theater and Norfolk's Ocean view is one of the play's main settings.

The play was written by Eric Schorr in collaboration with ODURep.

On Coast Live, April Woodard sat with two actors who came from New York to star in the show's diverse cast.
