I'm not Bex, but again I would say this is spelled Theater in the States. Our friend Wikipedia has an article about them. Not sure how much more a misnomer it is for an OR with a glassed off observational area than it is for a plain old OR with no observational area at all.

The story goes that Bishop Augustine, who later would
be sent to England, one day saw several very blond children
for sale in the slavery market of Rome. Never having
seen such beautiful children he asked whence they came,
and was told from "the land of the Angles". His reply
was "not Angles but angels." (non Angli, sed angeli).

it's somewhat akin to spelling a grillroom with an 'e' on the back.

Yes, grillroom with an 'e' on the back falls under snobishe.

Ah there is a shop near me called
"Ye Olde Chippe Shoppe"
the owner/server said she did it because of all of the misplaced Es hanging around...
