    Yes. I was taught “theatre” is for plays, musicals, etc as it pays homage to the history (Shakespeare and the like) . “Theater” is reserved for the movies or theater of the mind.

        For most Americans, it’s theater across the board. It’s only those who have had education, training, or work in the field that use theatre. At least in my experience.
