Welcome to The Director’s Page

So have you ever wondered why some theater companies spell theater with an er while other’s spell it with an re Theatre.  I have!  So I looked it up and here goes.  Some people think that the re spelling came from the old english spelling while others say the re spelling means the art of teaching acting.  Those who think that the re spelling means the art of acting say the er spelling means the actual building.  So you would say, “I went to the Theater to see a movie.”  I would say, “I teach theatre at the Middle School.”  So here’s the question.  Should we change our name to Madison Community TheatRE?  I would love your imput.
