  • 1.  What do you give your theatre colleagues?

    Posted 06-01-2020 16:14
    Hi Everyone -

    Do you give your theatre colleagues end of year gifts or help your students gift theatre faculty or members of the production staff? What are some of your favorite theatre related gifts to give or receive?​​

    Thanks!

    Christina,

    We usually do signed a framed poster with a cast/crew picture and have the cast sign the matte. They go over very well. During Covig-19, when no students were in the school, we hung six years worth of framed show posters/pictures/frames on the wall.

    Posters or large photos of the cast.

    Our students pay a participation fee for the musical. Part of that fee is earmarked for gifts for the staff and volunteers. Everyone gets a nice bouquet of flowers closing night of the fall play and musical. I also purchase gift cards, and often personal gifts that have to do with the show. These range from a music box to a mug or tee shirt. As producer/ director, I choose the gifts. The seniors have traditionally gotten me a gift.
