Community Engagement
Lissa and Nee Nee's primary target market is children under 8, but generally this means that many more people in the family benefit from the performance. In a very light and non-confrontational way, Lissa and Nee Nee's shows help introduce the next generation to live performance and help them understand the protocols of receiving theatre and live music. The show itself is centred on aspects of space and the universe and while the primary target will delight in the fun way this is presented, mums, dads, grandparents and older siblings will also enjoy the content of the show which reminds us of the much bigger universe we are all part of.
