There’s something exceptionally enchanting about theatre nights. An energy fills the air, starting with the first note of music and lasting until the final curtain call. One tradition that has remained popular throughout the years is the practice of sending gifts, often flowers or small treats, to performers. In my opinion, this is a very kind gesture that shows appreciation for the devotion that goes into every single show. 

However, what if you could provide a gift that is thoughtful and delicious at the same time? That’s where Dulcet’s bakery gift baskets come in,  a suitable snack for performers and theatre enthusiasts alike.  

The Gifting Tradition in Theatre Culture

Within the construct of the theater, gifting is a practice that has been passed down for generations. Gifts are given at the height of excitement, whether it be after a successful run, on opening night or even during the mundane periods to add a touch of happiness to one’s day.

• Gifts on the Opening Night: It is common for folks attending the performance during the first night to send flowers, tokens, and even chocolates specially to the performers and cast. It marks a sign celebration and appreciation of their hard work and devotion towards the art. 

• Backstage Custom: In addition, crew and cast also do small exchanges of gift as courtesy to appreciate one another’s work in the theatre production. This is because theatre is done in groups, and different individuals come together and contribute something to tell a very rich story filled with different experiences.

• Gift Giving Among the Cast: But, it is not only to receive small tokens from the audience, other performers also take it upon themselves to send small gifts to fellow performers, especially cards. It encourages bonding amongst performers and boosts the coordination.

Treats, chocolates, and flowers as well as other items greatly help to foster and strengthen rapport among the audience and performers. They show the unconditional love that the people have for the performers. Recently, these have been taken over by the new trend of gifting bakery gift baskets.

Sweet Surprises for the Stage — Why Bakery Gifts Work

Theatre professionals can appreciate the thoughtfulness of bakery gifts. Here’s why these work:  

• Everyone Looks Forward To: Bustling muffin industries continue catering to a universal audience. Be it stressed performers or theatre aficionados, everybody finds solace in releasers like theatre sponge cakes.  

• No Sharing Hassle: Even though bakery gifts come in baskets or boxes, their construction helps alleviate the “wishing there was enough to go around for everyone” problem. They can thus easily be shared with cast, crew and fellow theatrical patrons.  

• Instantly Evaporates Stress: The scent of whoopie pies or muffins wafting tells everyone that all their ensemble cast was hoping to do was for each other which in a nutshell means cheer. Accommodating a bakery treat to your after rehearsal ‘self-soothe’ relieves one from having to endure all that sugar-caked struggel.  

• Savoury Sweet Relief: Canterbury intermissions have an air filled with magic and bakery goodies add to the delectable magic like fairy dust. With snacks, everyone can indulge in savouring the rest of their thoughts while munching their way through sweet relief.
