Playhouse Friends –

Sharing experiences rather than tangible goods is a wonderful way to give a gift

that will last as a cherished memory forever. If you are still looking for gifts for all

the special someones on your holiday list, nothing is better than the magic of

live performance!

Please think about the gift of tickets to one of the remaining shows in the 2016-

2017 season: Cinderella, Riverdance, Pippin, and Once are still ahead. Tickets to

any of those shows, or a Choose-Your-Own series of any three of them, would be

a delightful surprise in someone’s stocking, and a much-treasured memory for

years to come.

If you are uncertain of your recipient’s tastes in shows or schedule, you can

purchase a gift certificate from the box office in any dollar amount.

And, if you have been extra good this year, maybe you deserve a gift of another

great show at The Playhouse, or at The Grand or baby grand for yourself.

However you choose to celebrate the holidays, on behalf of The Playhouse and

Grand, we all wish you much joy this season and in the year ahead!

Mark Fields

Executive Director
