Best Gifts for Theater Students

  1. Broadway Puzzle
    Our first gift idea is ideal for the oxymoronic theater student. After all, who would’ve guessed that someone in such an extroverted field would enjoy such an introverted activity. However, many theater students are apt to be drawn towards situations that won’t take away too much energy from them, especially because they give so much energy during acting. This thousand-piece Playbill Broadway cover puzzle is just what a theater student will need to wind down from a long day of acting.
  2. Wooden Clapboard
    Take two! Every scene that we see in a movie has gone through multiple takes. It takes practice to get a scene to come out just right. This wooden clapboard is great for the typical theater student who wants to practice going over their scenes. The information for the scene can be easily written on the clapboard with chalk and it can be just as easily wiped off. Whether this gift is for an adult or for kids, it’s a great idea for those who like to rehearse their lines.
  3. Voice Isolation Microphone
    Do you know a theater student that likes to hear the sound of their own voice through a microphone? While not too many people actually enjoy hearing their own voice on recording, theater students have to get used to it. They might even crave the process. This fancy microphone will allow whoever is using it to be heard without the added sound of whoever is in the background. This is a wise gift idea for someone who has a gift for acting.
  4. The Longman Anthology of Drama and Theater: A Global Perspective

  6. Ticket Shadow Box
    Do you know someone who likes to hold on to their tickets after they come back from a play? Instead of allowing those tickets to clutter the house, they would be much more enthralled to have a nice place to hold their keepsakes. This gift is a good fit for those who love theater and who are naturally sentimental.
  7. GoPro Hero10 Action Camera
    There’s nothing like going to see a good ole’ play. However, there’s also nothing like changing along with the times.
