Tomorrow, the Island Dies tells the story of 18-year-old Widow Clack, who is pregnant and running a

young man is found dead on the beach, the remaining collection of young adults begin to make dangerous accusations.
The complete studio cast recording is produced by Oliver, Joshua Zecher-Ross, Very Intense
Productions, and AT New Works, and commissioned by Samford University. The work also won the
