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.

Well…my opinion…why not, go for it. My reasons why, being that we do not have our own TheatER or Performance Space, and that we are an organization, with a full company of actors and a WONDERFUL board of directors who strive to teach the art of acting from may aspects such as acting, set design, light design, and any other technical aspects of the TheatER. Due to this I think that we are a TheatRE also because of our many different Performance Spaces. Well…This was my opinion, if it means anything.hahaha
