"Themed "Friends", it will showcase diverse portraits."
"Themed "Friends", it will showcase diverse portraits."
I have seen the sentence in a textbook and I have looked the word theme up in dictionaries but I failed to find usage of the word as a verb followed by an object compliment and I think that it was used like this,
As it was themed "Friends", it will showcase diverse portraits.
Is it okay to use the word like that?
What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance!

I renew my plea for context. This sentence appears to be from an announcement or a press release for a gallery opening. This kind of writing is often compressed and usually informal.
