Are you looking for a memorable gift for that special someone?

A gift where you don't have to worry about size or color, whether it's this week's style, whether it's in stock and will arrive on time (or even end up at a neighbor's house) -- and that doesn't need batteries, cables, a new operating system, or a twenty-page assembly or instruction manual? A gift that you know will work right the first time?

Consider the gift of live entertainment: an enjoyable experience that will last anywhere from two hours to a whole year. Our 2011 Season is full of fun, exciting, thought-provoking -- and very entertaining -- shows, including comedies, dramas, and musicals, along with three chorus concerts.

Whether you give one ticket to one show, or a pair of tickets, or a season subscription, you can be sure your gift will be appreciated and enjoyed. Couple the theatre ticket with a gift certificate to a local restaurant, and you will give that special someone a very memorable afternoon or evening.

Gift tickets are also a great way to introduce young people to live theatre, whether it's a play they're studying in school or the stage version of a favorite movie. Our 2011 Season, for example, opens with the classic comedy Private Lives and continues with  Rodgers & Hart: A Celebration, then Frost/Nixon, and ends with the show that kicked off the Morrisson Theatre (then known as the Little Theatre) in 1979, the all-time favorite The King & I.

We feel so strongly about introducing young people to live theatre that we are currently developing a program to help teachers make some of these stories come alive for their students. The program will include watching the show, touring the theatre, and discussions with the director and the cast. We'll have this program in place over the next few months and will announce it here on our Web site.

We can provide gift tickets for any show or combination of shows. Just give us a call at (510) 881-6777 and we'll be happy to discuss the options.
