Five Star Gift Ideas

For a son who is a fan of theater plays and musicals, there are a variety of gift options that can enhance his experience and bring joy to his passion.

1. Theater Tickets: Surprise him with tickets to see one of his favorite shows or a new production he has been eagerly waiting for. Consider booking tickets to a nearby theater, a famous play in a different city, or even a Broadway show if that's feasible. This will give him the opportunity to immerse himself in the live performances that he loves.

2. Drama Workshop or Acting Classes: If he has expressed interest in being on stage himself, enrolling him in a local drama workshop or acting classes can be an excellent gift. This will allow him to learn the craft, polish his skills, and gain confidence in his abilities.

3. Theater Merchandise: Many theater productions have merchandise available, such as T-shirts, posters, hats, and keychains. Browse online or visit the theater's gift shop to find memorabilia related to his favorite shows. These items will not only serve as collectibles but also remind him of the plays he has enjoyed.

4. Theatre Subscription: Consider gifting him a subscription to a local theater company or a theater magazine. A subscription will provide him with regular updates on upcoming shows, behind-the-scenes insights, and interviews with actors and directors. It will also keep him connected to the theater community throughout the year.

5. Soundtracks and Cast Recordings: The music from his favorite musicals can transport him back to the emotions and magic of the shows. Collect the soundtracks or cast recordings of the plays he enjoys the most. This gift will allow him to relive the performances and enjoy the music even when he can't attend a live show.

6. Theater Books and Biographies: Delve into the world of theater by gifting him books on famous playwrights, theatrical history, or biographies of beloved actors and actresses. Choose titles that align with his particular interests, whether it's the works of Shakespeare or the evolution of Broadway.

7. Theater-themed Puzzle or Board Game: Make his love for theater a fun activity by giving him a theater-themed puzzle or board game. There are various options to choose from, including jigsaw puzzles featuring iconic theater scenes or trivia games testing his knowledge of plays and musicals.

8. Custom Theater Artwork: Commission a piece of artwork specifically tailored to his love for theater. Hire a local artist to create a custom painting or a digital art print depicting his favorite play or musical. This unique and personal gift will add a touch of creativity to his living space.

Remember, the best gift is one that reflects his specific interests and brings him joy. Choose something that complements his love for theater and deepens his connection to this art form.

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.”
