We know and it is clear that the theater is one of the few arts that is “made ​​in the present” which gives a special appeal. Something like the difference between a jazz concert live or recorded. That much is clear, but … Why do people go to the theatre?

People love the theater because “it is the manifestation of all the arts together in one place. Theatre opens the outlook and vision of what human beings are.”

“Because they are live performances, people admire the intricacy of the work and serves as a professional actor. That’s usually what makes it attractive to the theater. ”

“The theater is not about anything in particular. About life. It’s life.”

“Is a need to experience in person, a real experience to share with others. Because yes, if it is not a shared experience, is not theater.”

By the way..Theatre or Theater is the same!

According to a 1960′s article in “Theatre Survey” by Francis Hodge, “theater”  is a result of Noah Webster’s push in the late 1820s to create an American
language purified of English spellings. Webster was one of the early publishers of dictionaries of the English language and in 1828 he published the first edition of his American Dictionary of the English language. Webster changed the spelling of many words in his dictionaries in an attempt to make them more
phonemic and less British.  This is also when many other words changed that Webster deemed to be too British for the new American democracy, such as
“colour” becoming “color”, “centre” becoming “center”, “honour” becoming “honor” and “grey” becoming “gray”.

Since the American theatre (or theater) at this time was still dominated by British actors and managers, along with American actors and managers trying to
suggest that theater (or theatre) was a high class art, the practitioners rather stubbornly clung to the British spelling. There have been a lot of attempts to
differentiate usage ever since, but really whatever you choose to use will work.

Today, it is primarily considered that the word theatre/theater is in most cases interchangeable. Most American theater companies use the “re” ending and
often you’ll see the “re” when the word refers to the art form or actual commpanies, but “er” when it refers to the building itself.
