[Noun] | "the*ater" | \ ˈthē-ə-tər \
1: a building or area for dramatic performances
2: a building or area for showing movies
3: an outdoor structure for dramatic performances or spectacles in ancient Greece and Rome
Origin: before 12th century ;
Middle English teatre, theatre, borrowed from Anglo-French & Latin; Anglo-French thueatre, teatre, borrowed from Latin theātrum "place for viewing dramatic performances," borrowed from Greek théātron, from theā́omai, theâsthai "to gaze at, view, watch, contemplate" (derivative of théā "act of see:ing, sight, spectacle, performance," of uncertain origin) + -tron, suffix of instruments;
* Note : Doric thāéomai and the Syracusan form thāā have led to the assumption of an original *thāwā. Presumably related would be thaûma "wonder, astonishment, object of wonder or admiration, marvel" (see: {thaumaturge|thaumaturge}). If táphos "amazement" and synonymous thámbos are related, the alternation [w] / labial stop / -mb- (prenasalized stop?) suggests substratal origin (see: R. Beekes, Etymological Dictionary of Greek, Brill, 2009), though the perfect téthēpa "(I) am astonished" reflects complete assimilation into Greek morphology.;

The cumulative effect of such skits can be crushing to sensitive victims. Noise, crowding in person or on the highway, stealing items from shopping cart when in the checkout line, and kids sent to hang out in front of, stare, make noise, in front of a victim's house or by putting strange items on a lawn as the victim drives by, such as a vacuum cleaner!
