    Membership or subscription to a theater

    What better way to ensure that you see new offerings at the city’s premier multi-stage venues than by getting a membership? It may cost a bit more than a single ticket, but pays itself off pretty fast. You can get a four-show ($100) or five-show ($150) subscription to the Signature Theatre Company. Or you can buy a $55 membership to the Public (above) for advance word on productions and discounts on your seats. More information at publictheater.org and signaturetheatre.org.

Holiday gift guide 2012: Theater

For that special theater fan, here are the best gifts: books, DVDs and more.

Advertising
Tis the season for fall and winter openings (so many shows, so little time!) and family-friendly limited runs (hello, Elf, Grinch, Rockettes and Christmas Story). Tis also the season for presents. And if you know theater folks, you know they are obsessive completists. This year, we're offering something for everyone: old-school Broadway nostalgists, addicts of experimental playwriting; those who want to see more shows but save money. Also, it wouldn't be a gift guide without an item for Sondheim fans. Check out or picks and find the best gift for family member, friend or lover—or even yourself.
