theater buff

Drama enthusiast person

A theater buff is someone with strong enthusiasm for and knowledge about theater, particularly live stage productions.

Buff suggests dedicated amateur interest rather than professional involvement—someone who attends plays regularly, follows actors' careers, and knows theater history.

My aunt is a real theater buff—she sees everything on Broadway.
