Welcome to Crash Course Theater with Mike Rugnetta! In this, our inaugural week, we’re going to ask the two classic questions about theater. 1.What is theater? And 2. Is it spelled -re or -er? Well, there’s a clue to question two in the title of the video. The first question is a little trickier. We’ll look at some of the historical definitions of theater, and investigate some of the ways people have thought about theater in different times and places in the world.

I came here because he hosted crash course world mythology. I enjoyed that series.
I thought Greek theatre/myth is all about passion & magic.
THANK YOU. I'm doing a school project about the evolution of theatre and drama, stumbled upon this video and oh my god my life became so much easier
One of your episodes for ritual ceremonies was taken up from Moharam Azadari in Iran 🙂
theatRE or theatER???
Let me break this down.
-American English: theater
Note that modern English (that we use today in the 21st century) is a Germanic language with influence from Romance language (Latin root), but "theatre" came from Greek language.
-Greek: θέατρον / théatron (a place for viewing)
-British English: theatre
*also in Canadian, Australian and New Zealandian English
-Latin: theatrum
French: théâtre
Spanish: teatro
Portuguese: teatro
Italian: teatro
Romanian: teatru
All of them use -tr + vowel, only American English uses -ter.
American English is simplified and British English is traditional.
Anyone else not understand anything that he said 😂

Look I'm a Media Reviewer who was in Andrew Lloyd Webbers CATS at the tender age of 10, I found this Channel By Accident, so lets dive into it so My Reviews are Quality Content. I'm going to Presume that was an Illustration of Grizabella, because for it to be otherwise would be wrong.

I learned more about theater in two minutes of this video than I did in three years of Drama classes at my high school.
