The varied lexical terminologies & taxonomies of theatre/drama/performance are hard to navigate for historians.
But we still use multivalent language for those things:
Theatre/er
Drama
Play/ing
Performance
I think of saying ‘drama’ in high school but ‘theatre’ in college. What’s your experience?

If I’m an actor, I might say that I work in ‘theatre’, but what if I said I work in ‘performance’?
What these distinctions—small tho they may be—signify are fascinating to me!
