theatre has 9 distinct synonyms spread across 3 of its 3 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
a building where theatrical performances or motion-picture shows can be presented
“the house was full”
the art of writing and producing plays
a region in which active military operations are in progress
“the army was in the field awaiting action”
Synonyms, antonyms and the broader and narrower relations for theatre come from Princeton University’s WordNet. Full sources and licences.
