theater-goer
Patron of plays
A theater-goer is someone who attends theatrical performances, especially as a regular habit.
The term suggests cultural engagement beyond casual moviegoing—someone who sees plays, musicals, or opera: Theater-goers filled the lobby during intermission.
Also spelled theatergoer or theatregoer.
