Five Star Gift Ideas

For a theater enthusiast like your son, there are plenty of meaningful and personal gift ideas that will enhance his theater experience and show your support for his passion. Here are a few ideas to consider:

1. Theater Tickets: The most obvious choice would be to gift him tickets to a theater play or musical of his choice. You can surprise him with tickets to an upcoming production that he's been eagerly waiting to see, or you can give him a gift card to a local theater company, allowing him to choose a play that fits his schedule and preferences.

2. Subscription to a Theater Magazine: A subscription to a theater magazine will keep him updated on the latest news, reviews, and interviews in the theater world. It will provide him with valuable insights into the industry, as well as inspire and educate him about different plays and performers.

3. Theater Merchandise: Take a look for official merchandise from his favorite theater productions. It could be a t-shirt with the title or logo of a play he recently enjoyed, a poster featuring his favorite actors, or even a mug or keychain related to a particular show. These items will allow him to showcase his love for theater in his everyday life.

4. Acting Classes or Workshops: If your son shows an interest in taking his passion for theater to the next level, consider gifting him acting classes or workshops. This will provide him with the opportunity to refine his skills, learn from experienced professionals, and connect with like-minded individuals who share his passion for the performing arts.

5. Theater Books: There's a wide range of theater-related books available that can enhance his knowledge and understanding of the art form. From biographies of famous actors and directors to books on the history of theater, playwrights, and techniques – you can choose according to his specific interests.

6. Behind-the-Scenes Tour: Contact local theater companies or venues to see if they offer behind-the-scenes tours. This would give your son the chance to see the inner workings of a theater, including backstage areas, lighting and sound booths, and costume and prop departments. It's an excellent opportunity for him to gain a deeper understanding of what goes on behind the curtains.

7. Personalized Playbill: Consider creating a personalized playbill for his favorite play or musical. You can find templates online and add photos, quotes, and personal messages that are special to him. It will be a unique keepsake that commemorates his love for theater.

Remember, the most important thing is to show your support and enthusiasm for your son's passion. By gifting him something related to theater, you're not only acknowledging his interest but also encouraging him to pursue his dreams and aspirations in the performing arts.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

Madeline Moran Weiler says about Under Lucky Stars star maps:

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
