I kept a box with all my ticket stubs before we started printing our own. Even though I've created a couple of art projects, I still have a whole mess of them. Are you sticking with what you listed, or are you willing to accept others as well?

I have my ticket stubs to EVERY Broadway show I have ever seen...EXCEPT my first show ever from a 5th grade field trip...SMOKEY JOE'S CAFE. And it kills me!

^Same here, except im missing mine from my first three trips to the theatre. Have all my ones from September pinned onto my uni hall room :).

Tommi can I just ask what the project is for? Seems interesting.

I am sticking to the ones I listed because those are the stubs I'm missing from the shows that I've seen. I have all of the others. If I have printed the ticket myself, or got in for free because of work, I kinda of scramble around the theater and grab a stub that someone has left on the floor! It makes me look a little homeless, like I'm looking or a half of box of candy but I don't care lol

My project is a little insane (my boyfriend thinks so anyway..he's not so into musicals)

I am a painter and one insomniac filled night in grad school I started laying down my stubs on a blank canvas just to see what i would look like if I glued them all down to something. I had some matte gloss acrylic medium (which is like shellac) and went to town. I filled like 3 canvases...now I'm on number 6 (of varying shapes and sizes because I want to combine them into one big piece. I may paint something on it but I'm not sure. I still want all of the shows to be legible.

If any of you have stubs from those shows, I would be super grateful. There is a thrift store down the street from me who sells old playbills so I wouldn't mind going on a goose chase if it meant trading for a stub. I also have several lightly worn show t shirts that I am not attached to if anyone would be interested in trading one of those.

Thanks for your interest! I'd love to be able to complete this project.


Update: I forgot that one of my complete canvases was still hanging on the wall. And while it had SEVERAL repeats, I realized it contained several of the stubs from the list. The list has since been updated! Thanks again for your help!

I have an idea...

I realized that people aren't so willing to part with stubs that they've held on to for years and years If anyone is willing to photo copy their stubs from any of these shows, that would work too. Or maybe scan and email?

I would appreciate it so sooooo much.

My really old ones (60's thru the 80's) I never kept.They were those small rectangular ones

When my wife & I go, we staple the stubs onto the first page of the Playbill.

Thats a good idea!

I have a box that I was keeping mine in. I have about 300+ stubs Mostly broadway shows but also including maybe 20 regional theater shows, maybe 10 ABT or Alvin Ailey tickets, and a handful of Opera tickets.) Its kind of insane how extensive this project is becoming!

THANS IN ADVANCE for your help! I have already received a few PMs and I appreciate it more than I can say

I made a couple of pictures, like 'street art' back when RENT opened. i used ticketstubs as the backround, and color original cast pix of Rent collaged over the top. It actually still looks great. Good luck with the project!

Its really coming along! Thank you for the help I have received and who ever else has anything they could scan and email me, I would sincerely appreciate it!

I miraculously found my True West stub in an old scrap book!
