Delightful Miscellaneous
🎶These are a few of my favorite things🎶 for when you want something to wrap that is more for FUN than for functional/practical use
Custom sheet music art! These are so unique…what a beautiful way to commemorate your favorite show or role or song. #ad
EGT sheet music art
A light up replica of the iconic Times Square display! Fun way to bring the Broadway to your home.
Broadway Sign Light-Up Lamp
Theatre stickers, washi tape, postcards, and more? Sign me up. I’ve used these for cast gifts, making customized cards, and just for adding some Broadway to my everyday life and planner!
An Actor Plans - Theatrical Stationery Products
Such an underrated Canadian show following the performers, writers, and directors of the fictional Burbage Shakespeare Festival. 3 seasons, and I wished for so many more. The wit and humor are top-notch, and if you're a performer/theatre person, the ...
SLINGS & ARROWS: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION
Attire
Let's face it—a good chunk of a performer's time is spent in rehearsals, and we love to rep musical theatre even on our off days. So, comfy, funny, punny attire is a must.
For those of us who *don’t* have a LaDucas-type budget, but still want a dance boot! They also have 2.5” heel options available.
Roxie - 3 Inch Heel Black Character Boot Professional Character Shoes
The amount of times we have said these words…😂 Available in so many cute styles! #ad

A VERY frequently heard line during rehearsals from directors… and it’s never *just* one more time. 😂
One More Time Tee – Playhouse Shop
Rehearsal bags, water bottles, hats, shirts, sweatshirts, and more! You can rep the logo OR grab one of the quotes tshirts, like “One More Time”, “Move With Purpose”, or LINE!”.
Oak Ridge Playhouse Shop: Merch from the Official State Community Theatre of Tennessee
I have the long black Ready Freddie and LIVE in it during shows! Here's why:
1. When you're dealing with makeup and wig prep, finding things to wear that don't have to go over your head is vital
2. This is big enough that I can put it on over tights, undergarments and base costume pieces—perfect for hanging in the green room and offstage areas.
3. It comes up high enough that you're not exposed and isn't skin tight.
4. It's to get on and off, perfect for the end of the night when you want to go greet your guests fast.
5. It's long enough for my tall girl legs, too, which is RARE with jumper scenarios!

Comes with online access (or CD with older versions) to the exercises! I use the “warmups for all voices” daily before every rehearsal and performance. #ad
Vocal Workouts for the Contemporary Singer by Anne Peckham
Lots of good information about accessing “middle” voice, or the mix between chest and head for your most supported and sustainable sound. The purchase also unlocks online access to his vocal warmups, which I use HEAVILY in more belt-heavy productions...

Practical
I'm all for practical-ly perfect gifts like this…stuff we will stash in our rehearsal bags and use regularly!
Some of the theatres I work with ask for no open-lid drinks (fully sealable drinkware: e.g no straws, or slide-open caps) so this is a lifesaver for bring drinks in the green room and rehearsal spaces. Super cool silicone water bottle that accordion ...
Stojo sustainable, collapsible water bottle
In conjunction with the chug cap screw lid, this is an *approved* drinkware in theatres where they have no-open lids policies (e.g. no straws or slide cover lids). I love my YETI! #ad
