We’re visiting Nana today!

What surprises has she got up her sleeve? Perhaps a magical stick, some dancing shoes, a special ribbon and a duck that goes... moo?

Joyful surprises are discovered alongside tender moments between a grandmother and her grandchild as they navigate a day together in this theatrical experience for preschoolers and their grownups.

Created from workshops with real grandparents in the Christchurch community, Me and My Nana is brought to life by Cubbin Theatre Company.

This lively story, told with clever props, simple language and nostalgic tunes played by a live musician, Me and My Nana celebrates the unique love children share with their grandparents.

Me and My Nana has been created for children aged 1-5 and their grown-ups (grandparents or otherwise!). Everyone is welcome to attend!
