People in the theatre world tend to spell it "theatre" and those who are not spell it "theater." The basic difference as it was explained to me by one of my theatre professors in college is: Theatre is the art form and Theater is the building.

Example- I am going to the Kodak Theater to see a theatre performance.

Also, theatre is the (British) English spelling of the word theater.
