One of the first hits in Google for "theremin circuit".  If you just

want to hook it up to an amp, don't build anything to the right of the

volume control.  You do kind of need the slightly odd diodes, but it

should work at least a bit with pretty much any diode or transistor.
Note that this design doesn't have a volume antenna - you'd need a

volume pedal or something.
