Kabuki

Kabuki is a form of traditional Japanese theater. Kabuki is sometimes translated as "the art of singing and dancing." The word kabuki is believed to derive from the verb kabuku, meaning "to lean", "to be out of the ordinary". Kabuki theater is known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate make-up worn by its performers.

When players ask for a theater style and get Kabuki, they better know what it means.

See Wikipedia for more information.

Also a Long Form style.
