A fantastic world premier of Coming to Australia took Adelaide city by storm this week, as the young Africans shared their personal stories.
It’s an epic story of the African refugees in song, dance and drama – a journey into the mind of the new arrivals.
They came in dribs and drabs from the refugee camps in Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia and the Sudan to make a new life for themselves in the land Down Under.
Performed at St. Mary’s School, Franklin Street, Coming to Australia is a truly engaging musical extravaganza. It’s a show like no other; featuring young people from Africa’s long wars.
Shedrick Yarkpai provided the music, lyrics and choreography.
The cast of Coming to Australia included young dancers and singers such as Rebecca Freeman, Tina Kamara, Precious Norman, Tutu Gbala, Princess Dunn, George Moore, and Nimiro Unzi.
This ambitious project was directed by Rob Crosser and David Roach. The colourful production revealed interesting stories, fantastic music, and exhilarating dance of the new arrivals.
The show left a lasting effect on the audience as the young refugees combined their talents to deliver the total entertainment package; singing songs of freedom.

Hi Fancy, I have been having computer problems and my computer died a couple weeks ago, so I am borrowing a computer until I get a new one. I finally did decide on a computer and it should be delivered this coming week. Then I can learn how to use it! Hope you are having a great weekend.
Thank you for your correspondence, Technobabe. I'm having a great time and things are looking up! :)
Wow! A new computer sounds really good.I hope you have an exciting time learning how to use it all over again.
