Theatre
- Carrac
- A member of the republican government of France, in the play Paul Kauvar; or, Anarchy (1887), by Steele MacKaye. He is pejoritively referred to as an anarchist numerously by political opponents for his support of state terror. The play coincidentally premiered during the trial following the Haymarket affair, and so went through a series of title changes to avoid arousing controversy.
- Tom Collins
- A philosophy professor with AIDS, Tom Collins is a major character in the American Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical, Rent (1996), by Jonathan Larson. He is the friend and former roommate of several characters, including Roger, Mark, Benny, and Maureen, and is Angel's lover. During musical numbers, the performer playing Tom sings bass.
- The character is inspired by "Colline", a character in La bohème, by Giacomo Puccini.

Famous quotes containing the word theatre:
“The theatre is the best way of showing the gap between what is said and what is seen to be done, and that is why, ragged and gap-toothed as it is, it has still a far healthier potential than some poorer, abandoned arts.”
—David Hare (b. 1947)
“Make them laugh, make them cry, and back to laughter. What do people go to the theatre for? An emotional exercise.... I am a servant of the people. I have never forgotten that.”
—Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
“I can get dressed earlier in the evening with every intention of going to a dance at midnight, but somehow after the theatre the thing to do seems to be either to go to bed or sit around somewhere. It doesn’t seem possible that somewhere people can be expecting you at an hour like that.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
