How to use theatre in a sentence?

1. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber:

   Not just the prince of musicals, the crowned head who directed two of the greatest productions of my career, Evita and Phantom. This wonderful man taught me so much and his mastery of musical theatre was without equal.

2. Antonin Artaud:

   The theater, which is in no thing, but makes use of everything -- gestures, sounds, words, screams, light, darkness -- rediscovers itself at precisely the point where the mind requires a language to express its manifestations.

3. Tallulah Bankhead:

   It's one of the tragic ironies of the theatre that only one man in it can count on steady work -- the night watchman.

4. Alan Rickman:

   You can act truthfully or you can lie. You can reveal things about yourself or you can hide. Therefore, the audience recognises something about themselves or they don't — You hope they don't leave the theatre thinking, "That was nice...now where's the cab?

5. Walter Benjamin:

   Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience, as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.
