The theatre organ is an instrument which works in the same way as a pipe organ, the difference being that the pipes in a theatre organ are made to sound like instruments in an orchestra.
The organ is played from a "horseshoe" shaped console.
These organs were developed between around 1910 till around 1920`s. They were installed in movie palaces to provide music at a cheaper cost than the orchestra.
There sound is very effective.
For a closer idea of these organs and there sounds, were you can hear one and see one visit

Anyone involved in a highschool production, this includes stage crew, costumes and techies and well as the actors. They are probly the most accepting group in the school and the easiest to be friends with. Yes they are wierd but they are a cool wierd that only theatre kids understand. Theatre kids also tend to not just cling to each other like the other groups, theatre kids, especially the actors, are way to out-going to be held back by those limitations, they are probly in other groups too, so odds are the theatre kids rule the school,and have the most connections (but dont tell those rich popular kids) and one more thing, not only are they they coolest nicest group of kids in the school but most of them are smart, and were not just talking about the techies.
(theatre kids randomly singing)
Regular kid: what the heck?
Theatre kid: what?
Regular kid: you guys just started singing in the middle of our conversation!?
Theatre kid: yes, and?

A derivative of a Lincoln's Hat with the difference being the female having oral sex performed on her is currently on her period.
I thought I was giving my girlfriend a Lincoln's Hat but only found out after I started that she was on the rag. Turns out I gave her a Ford's Theatre!

Painfully swollen testicles. A condition contracted when banging your way through the theatre department in high school or college caused by rough and exploratory sex. AKA....Longmire LugNutz
Hey Bryan, let's go play pickleball. No way, I got a bad case of Theatre Balls. I can barely fit my junk in my shorts and I can barely walk.

Kino Der Toten as referred to by Richtofen.
Richtofen: Entry 741021! Perhaps the station will hold the key to the real goals of Group 935. I still do not trust my unconventional allies, but they are of great use to me. But I digress. Who would've thought the MDT was capable of time travel? How many stations does this group have? Where did that little girl disappear to? Only time will tell what new questions await us in this...THEATRE OF THE DAMNED!
