Not at all! This show is great for parents, friends, rellies, anyone who cares about young children and would like to bring them to the show. While there is a Nana in the title, the show is about all special relationships between older adults and young children.
Me and My Nana
About the show
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 a lively story, told with clever props, simple language and nostalgic tunes, that celebrates the unique love children share with their grandparents.
Everyone is welcome to Me and My Nana. It has been created mainly for children aged 1-5 and their grown-ups.

FAQ
Do I have to be a grandparent to attend?
Can I bring my older children?
Yes! Anyone and everyone is welcome to Me and My Nana. The show has been made specifically for 2-5 year olds but we think everyone will enjoy it! Every one will need their own ticket except babies in arms who get to come for free.
How long is the show?
The performance lasts approximately 30 minutes plus time for a wee play afterwards.
Where will we sit?
You and your child can choose to sit on the floor on cushions, or on chairs.
Does my child need to sit still and be quiet?
No! We’re really keen to encourage the children to respond however they like.
Me and My Nana is not an interactive show as such, but however children choose to respond will be welcomed. That’s part of the excitement of live theatre and we are well versed in interacting with our audience.
I’m running late! Can I come in after the start time?
Absolutely! You are welcome to come and go from the space whenever you wish during the performance.
Do I need two tickets for me and my child?
Yes. One bum, one ticket! Small babies come for no charge. If your child is able to sit up by themselves, then they need a ticket.
Will I enjoy the performance too?
We hope so! If you have any other queries or concerns please contact our friendly team at hello@cubbin.co.nz
