MaaMaa & Nonna’s Kitchen is a heartwarming, immersive theatre experience that celebrates the bond between family, culture, and food. This interactive performance invites children aged 2 to 4, along with their families, into the vibrant kitchens of two grandmothers – MaaMaa (Chinese grandmother) and Nonna (Italian grandmother). Together, they embark on a culinary adventure that transcends language and borders.
In this delightful performance, the little cooks will put on their aprons, roll up their sleeves, and dive into the joyful process of making dough, to create mantao (Chinese steamed buns) and focaccia (Italian flatbread) from scratch – all under the guidance of MaaMaa and Nonna. This culminates in a shared feast where everyone can take pride in their culinary creations.

ABOUT:
What makes MaaMaa & Nonna’s Kitchen truly special is its rich, multi-sensory environment. As children engage in each step of the cooking process, they develop essential fine and gross motor skills, while also fostering a sense of autonomy, confidence, and pride in their accomplishments.
Through storytelling, music, and hands-on participation, this interactive performance helps children explore cultural diversity and the joy of working together as a family – nurturing not only their growing skills but also their curiosity about the world.
