we need a gift other then flowers and just regular money

What is a good idea for a musical director's gift after a production?
In my experience...lots and lots of alcohol.
Reply:What about something which will remind him/her of the show? Without knowing what the show is, it is difficult to make a suggestion.
Reply:Musical Directors get a lot of useless piano-shaped knick-knacks and stuff. Something from the show would certainly mean more - A cast photo signed with a metallic pen or sharpie and put in a nice frame is always very nice.

they offer beautiful and affordable hand made paintings from your favorite photograph. it's a unique and creative gift. very well thought out and will last a lifetime. what i like of them is that they are reeeeaally good at capturing the physical likeness, something others can’t do. i was extremely happy with the results. in addition to paintings of a loved one, they also do paintings of things of value like the first car, favorite place, a pet, etc. all you need is to send them a photo.





if you ask them, they even send a hand made card in advance of the painting arriving telling the recipient that a special gift is on the way. very nice detail.





best wishes!!
Reply:Get a copy of the program in advance, and a good picture of the ensemble from a dress rehearsal. Go to a framing shop and have them custom cut a matte to fit the program and picture with plenty of extra space in the matting. Then have the cast sign it with a brief thank you.





We've done this sort of gift for coaches and directors and such in the past and it's always quite appreciated, and very personal.





Good luck.
Reply:take a pic of the cast in costume and makeup then get it framed with the artists white framing. make it thick enough for everybody to sign.


this always goes over well with my directors and they hang it up somewhere in the theater.


good luck
