I usually spell it theater for both. Of course, on days when I'm feeling more formal, or have been thinking about the british isles a lot, it tends to come out theatre. According to my school, I'm studying "Theatre Arts", which sounds incredibly stuck-up to me. :)There are people who get upset if you spell it the "wrong" way (ususally that means -er) but they are few and far between, in my experience.
