Posted: 2/9/06 at 7:11pmI spell it theater, regardless of whether it's referring to a stage show or a cineplex. I only use theatre when it's part of a name like Colonial Theatre, Majestic Theatre, etc. I guess same reason why everyone (including Brits and the like) spell Technicolor instead of Technicolour because it's a trademark. I've actually seen British movies that have opening credits like "colour by Technicolor."
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

Posted: 2/9/06 at 7:23pm"Theatre" is just way cooler. It looks British and old-school. I write "Theater" when referring to, like, movie theaters, though.

Posted: 2/9/06 at 10:49pmI remember my first drama teacher told me he liked to use theater to refer to the actual place, while theatre was the actual art of theatre. Since then, I have always done the same. But theatre does look a lot prettier either way as well...
