There are different types of theatre people who may require different things so I’ve created 2 categories. I’m going to focus mainly on actors and performers but I’ll add a few suggestions at the end for the Theatre Enthusiasts in your life who spend more time in the audience and at the stage door than on-stage!
Amazon has some amazing sales going on right now for Black Friday that you won’t want to miss so – if you’re an actor, send this to your mom or grandparents when they ask for your holiday wish list because let’s face it… you never know what to say. So let me help you! All should be linked in my Amazon Storefront!
Your family and friends could gift you another “I can’t, I have rehearsal” T-shirt, or they could gift you something from this list.

The Theatre Performer
If you know what’s good for you, you’ll stock up on Throat Coat tea while it’s 30% off for Black Friday! Singers and performers swear by this stuff for good reason. I always keep a few tea bags in my performance bag just in case.
Now I know that we can’t all be a Grether’s girlie because there is an acquired taste… but those who swear by them, SWEAR by them and they’re on sale right now so. It’s a stocking stuffer you won’t regret!
I mean… Need I say more? I mean, it’s a dressing room essential and it’s on sale for a STEAL right now.
I don’t care what anyone else says. These are the best flavor. And they are only worth it to buy at Costco, until now. So if you don’t have a Costco membership, now is your time to stock up on the absolute BEST electrolytes. These got me through doing a show at 20 weeks pregnant. Enough said.
This is specifically for my sweaty actors. No shame. I see you.
Save your makeup, mic tape and your dance partners and try these Sweat Block wipes! You use them to literally stop specific parts of your body from sweating. *The main ingredient is Aluminum Chloride so if that’s not something you’re interested in, then this isn’t for you. Just an option!
I’m sure someone has told you by now as an artist, that you must do “The Artist’s Way” and I’m here to second that. Here’s a great way to kick-start that with the Starter Kit and it’s on sale right now!
It’s a new age and we know self-tapes are here to stay. If you need a good backdrop, this is the perfect thing to ask for as a holiday gift and this one is on an amazing deal for Black Friday! There is a black and white one and a blue and green one if you have a preference. Both on sale.
Look no further for the perfect dance bag! With a vented compartment for dance shoes and a wet bag for sweaty tights, it’s the perfect bag to keep for dance classes and auditions. It even has a USB charging port that you can connect a power bank to and make charging easily accessible, which is perfect for those long audition days.
Whether you’re an actor, dancer or content creator that’s been struggling with finding a place to prop your phone to take a quick clip, here’s your solution. It’s so smart, I wish I had thought of it. It’s a little pricey so this is the BEST time to make the splurge since it’s on sale now!
Now we’re moving into the splurgier gifts, so these are the gifts to send to someone with a bit of a higher budget but are still definitely worth the price. Even more now that they are all on sale!
The cleanest portable vocal steamer is already on sale but Amazon also has a $50 off coupon. It’s the cheapest this will ever be so add it to your wishlist!
A theragun that fits perfectly in your dance bag? Yeah… it’s on sale too. You’re welcome!
Okay so the next 2 items are for my friends who love warming up with a straw. I was once a straw denier and now I’m a believer. If you are like me and keep different straws in your bag and maybe need an upgrade, then it’s time to send this to that person who’s wondering what to get you! Whichever fits your style more… a necklace or…
A ring… Both are on sale now for Black Friday!
Now – if you’re not a big performer, I didn’t forget about you!
Here are a few fun options for our Theatre/Broadway Lovers
The Theatre Connoisseur
Hirschfield Tarot Cards
Tarot cards and guide book based on the artwork of Al Hirschfeld, what Broadway fanatic wouldn’t love to keep these on hand?
Scenery Bags has an amazing sale going on for Black Friday and they upcycle Broadway scenery pieces into handbags, accessories and more. Always a statement piece and conversation starter!
If you’re finding this at another time – Checking out the Broadway Flea for Broadway Cares is the best way to get the most interesting gifts that support an amazing cause. You can usually bid for things online if you’re not local to New York City in September and if you remember to, this can be a great way to get a gift that will really wow your theatre friends.
Let me know if there’s anything I missed. I’ve already purchased a few of these gifts for myself and others because these are deals I couldn’t miss.
