You're off to a good start, but this is not a topic sentence and you will need to formulate one. There will be an opportunity in class this week to do this with feedback from your fellow students.
Some of your search terms will work, I think, but some will not. "theatre created" isn't going to go very far, for example. It's not grammatical, for one thing, and "created" is not usually a term that goes with "theatre." Plays are written or created, but theatre is staged.
Another thought is to use "theater" rather than "theatre" as these are different spellings for the same word. Another option is to use "theat*" The asterisk will allow you to get results for both "theatre" and "theater." This is truncation.
