DreamNation 2010 Musical

DreamNation - ‘A Day at the Museum’

It is the opening day of the Australian Exhibit at the National Museum. A grand ‘A List’ Launch Party has been held to celebrate the occasion. Following the performance of the Exhibition song by school children, the guests leave and the doors close. The exhibition sits silent and still – or does it?
Much to the surprise of the museum guards, Kelvin and Kerry-Lyn, some exhibits appear to be more ‘lifelike’ than others.
Could it be that James and Margie are actually arguing over that gold nugget?
Is the Kelly Gang truly rehearsing their opening catch-cry?
Did Captain Arthur Phillip really come prepared to celebrate Australia Day?
Find out the answers to these questions in John Duff’s latest musical, DreamNation. From the multicultural presentation of, ‘Australia Proud’ through to the stirring unity of ‘Raise the Flag’ DreamNation offers an unforgettable musical experience for performers and audience alike.
