Theater Kid Gifts Worthy of a Curtain Call
Theater kids memorize ninety pages of dialogue and get a program with their name in eight-point font. Upgrade the keepsake: a custom trading card - costume photo on the front, name, role, and show underneath.
Upload any photo — your kid, your pet, your whole team — pick a pro template, and we print and ship a real, holdable card in 2–3 days.
Theater gifts recycle the same comedy-tragedy masks and Broadway mugs - nothing about this kid, this role, this production. The costume photos from tech week are some of the best pictures ever taken of them, and they evaporate into the cast group chat.
Snapshot prints custom cast cards: the costume shot with name, role, show title, and production year. Single cards $17.99 with a display case; full cast sets at bulk pricing for closing-night gifts; printed and shipped in 2-3 days.

Why Cast Cards Steal the Scene
Specific to the role beats generic theater merch every time.
Role and Show on the Front
Name, the role, the show, the year - the card reads like a playbill headshot upgraded to a collectible.
Costume Photos Made Permanent
Full costume under stage lights is the most dramatic photo a kid will ever take - the card frame was built for it.
The Career Series
One card per production - from ensemble in the fall musical to the senior-year lead, the theater resume becomes a card run.
Cast Sets for Closing Night
Directors and booster parents print the full cast on one template - the closing-night gift that beats flowers and survives the cast party.

When Theater Cards Land
Three traditions worth starting.
Opening Night
The card handed over before the curtain - their name, their role, proof the family knew it was a big deal before the reviews came in.
Closing Night Cast Gift
Every cast and crew member carded on a shared show template. The crew kids - who never get the flowers - remember it longest.
The Director Thank-You
The director card, signed by the cast on the back. Standing ovation in card form.
Cast Party Canon
One parent prints a lead's card for opening night, and by the next production the boosters are ordering full cast sets. The kids who frame them first are always the crew.
Booster-Budget Pricing
$17.99 first card with case and free US shipping.
Extra copies about $2 each; full cast sets get bulk pricing; the 11 x 15.4 inch MEGA poster ($49.99) suits the senior lead's send-off.
Costs less than opening-night flowers and never wilts.
Box Options
Simple, collectible pricing. No subscriptions, no hidden fees.
The Rookie Box
Perfect for those unforgettable moments
$17.99 - $49.99
MEGA Card
Their moment, bigger than ever

Can we do the whole cast?
Yes - one organizer, one show template, every cast and crew member's photo and role. Bulk pricing, ships together in 2-3 days for closing night.
Do crew members get cards too?
They should - stage manager, lighting, sound, and crew cards with their role printed are the most appreciated cards in the set.
