X-treme Theatre
X-treme Theatre is an annual event sponsored by the Centerville High School Theatre Department. The students must write, direct, design, act, and sing in an original theatre production. This event originated in 2007 and has continued annually. To prevent planning ahead a set of rules dictating specific items that must be included in the show are revealed twenty-four hours before the performance. These items may be characters, specific props, certain words, and various other requirements (such as a musical number). The event starts at 7:30pm on a Friday and the script or scripts are written overnight with production and casting beginning at 7:30am the next day. The performance begins that Saturday at 7:30pm. The show traditionally includes an improvisational component at the beginning of the show.

Famous quotes containing the word theatre:
“Mankind’s common instinct for reality ... has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism. In heroism, we feel, life’s supreme mystery is hidden. We tolerate no one who has no capacity whatever for it in any direction. On the other hand, no matter what a man’s frailties otherwise may be, if he be willing to risk death, and still more if he suffer it heroically, in the service he has chosen, the fact consecrates him forever.”
—William James (1842–1910)
