Should this be "Theater ''in'' the United States"? (Compare [[Religion in the United States]], cf [[Folklore of the United States]], [[Cinema of the United States]].) [[User:Quadell]]

There's a ton of good info [http://college.hmco.com/history/readerscomp/rcah/html/ah_085500_theater.htm here], if anyone wants to incorporate it. &ndash; [[User:Quadell|Quadell]] <sup>([[User_talk:Quadell|talk]]) ([[Wikipedia:Image sleuthing|sleuth]])</sup> 22:13, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)

== President Dwight of Yale College ==
This article quotes "President Dwight of Yale College" writing an essay in 1824. According to the [[Yale University]] page, there were two presidents called Dwight in the 19th century -- [[Timothy Dwight IV]] and [[Timothy Dwight V]]. But IV died in 1817, and V was born in 1828, so just ''who'' wrote this diatribe in 1824? rickK [[User:66.60.159.190|66.60.159.190]] 17:32, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure where the other date came from. &ndash; [[User:Quadell|Quadell]] <sup>([[User_talk:Quadell|talk]]) ([[Wikipedia:Image sleuthing|sleuth]])</sup> 23:08, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

There are a ton of great PD images of the history of U.S. theater [http://www.neiu.edu/~rghiggin/ephem/Ephemera.html here]. &ndash; [[User:Quadell|Quadell]] <sup>([[User_talk:Quadell|talk]]) ([[Wikipedia:Image sleuthing|sleuth]])</sup> 12:47, August 11, 2005 (UTC)

== theat''er'' ==

b/c this is about theater/theatre in the US then why is it spelled as "theatre" instead of "theater"? I'm sure it honestly does not matter, but shouldnt that be the way it is? [[User:Texas Drama King|The Texas Drama King]] 07:27, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed, and then some: while it is indicated in the article that "theatre" should be used under certain circumstances, it is clear from modern US dictionaries that "theater" is the preferred spelling in the US for all situations.
