Five Star Gift Ideas

If your daughter loves performing in theater, there are plenty of gifts you can give to support and encourage her passion. Here are some ideas:

1. Tickets to a Broadway show – Consider gifting her tickets to a Broadway show in New York City. This is a great opportunity for her to experience the live performances of the shows she’s been working on. You can even make a weekend trip out of it and spend time together exploring the city.

2. Acting classes – Take a look at local acting schools or workshops in your area and enroll her in a short class or workshop. This will help her build additional skills and confidence when performing.

3. Professional headshots – Every actor needs a great headshot. Consider hiring a professional photographer to take headshots of your daughter. She can use these shots for future auditions and performances.

4. Inspiring books – Look for inspiring memoirs or autobiographies of famous actors, or pick up a book that explores the behind the scenes work of theater. It’s an interesting way to get a behind-the-scenes look at the industry she loves so much.

5. Theatre-related jewelry – There are plenty of gifts which your daughter can wear as an everyday reminder of her love for theatre. A charm bracelet with theatrical icons would be a fun gift, or perhaps a dainty necklace featuring the Comedy and Tragedy masks.

6. Theatre tech equipment – Many people forget that theatre is as much about tech and stagecraft as it is about acting. Consider a gift such as a camera, digital recorder, or even a lighting kit that could expose your daughter to a variety of different functions within theater.

7. Soundtracks – If your daughter has a favorite musical she’s been obsessing over, buy the soundtrack so that she can listen and sing along.

8. Memorabilia – Check out online auctions and stores for rare, collector’s items such as playbills, autographed memorabilia, or unique costumes worn by actors in popular Broadway shows.

9. Support her with her dream – Lastly, if your daughter still finds it difficult to perform in theater, support her by attending her performances or helping her with her line delivery or script. It is the greatest gift you can give to her this holiday season.

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