Five Star Gift Ideas

Finding a meaningful and personal gift for someone who loves improvisational theater can be an exciting venture. Here are a few ideas that could make your husband's birthday truly unforgettable.

1. Improv Workshop: Consider gifting your husband a ticket or voucher for an improv workshop or class. This will allow him to enhance his improvisation skills, learn new techniques, and immerse himself in the art form he loves. Look for local theaters or improv groups that offer classes and workshops, ensuring that the timing and location are convenient for him.

2. Comedy Club Experience: Plan a surprise outing to a comedy club, where he can enjoy a night of laughter and improv performances. Many comedy clubs have improv nights or feature shows that incorporate improvisational elements. Sharing in this experience will allow him to witness the craft he adores and create lasting memories together.

3. Improv Games Set: Give your husband a set of improv games such as Story Cubes or Rory's Story Cubes. These creative tools provide a great way for him to practice improvisation in a fun and spontaneous manner. Additionally, they can be easily taken to social gatherings to engage friends and family in improv games, creating laughter-filled evenings.

4. Improv Books: Consider adding to your husband's collection of improv literature. There are numerous books available that delve into foundational improvisational techniques and offer valuable insights from renowned improv performers and teachers. Look for recommendations such as "Impro" by Keith Johnstone or "Truth in Comedy" by Charna Halpern, Del Close, and Kim Johnson.

5. Improv Tickets: Surprise your husband with tickets to a live improv show featuring his favorite improvisers or an improv festival that showcases different acts and styles. This gift will not only support the art form but also provide him with an opportunity to witness the mastery of improvisation firsthand, cultivating his passion and inspiring him in his own practice.

Remember to personalize your gift based on your husband's individual preferences and interests within the realm of improvisational theater. Taking the time to understand which aspects of improv he enjoys the most will ensure a more meaningful and cherished surprise.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.

“It was such a sentimental and romantic present for my husband's birthday (since he is so into astronomy and the moon on the background). The order came super well packaged, and now it is the gem in the basement :)”
