Little Bear Ridge Road gave out nothing. No gift, no First Preview sticker on the Playbill.

I hope people are not expecting first preview gifts to be a norm, but I am curious about shows that do have them.

You all DO realize these shows don’t owe you a gift for going to the first preview, right…?

Why is it worth mentioning that the LIBERATION tote is “thin”…? They very easily could’ve given you nothing.

The first preview gift thing really took off last season, right? I really only recall it happening sporadically before then.

I wasn't expecting anything from Little Bear since the marketing for the show has been so spare and uninspiring (and since the main purpose for the gifts is for marketing, sending people out in the streets with bags with a show's logo or with things to post on social media, it makes sense there would have been none). But I'll admit I was hoping for that First Preview Playbill sticker. (But no, they didn't owe me that.)
