==On ObjectTypes==
{{Flag
|files={{Categ|ini=art}}
|values={{values|boolean}}
|default=no
|types={{Categ|Objects}}
|ts=yes
|fs=yes
|hp=yes
|ra2=yes
|yr=yes
|ares=yes
}}
Specifies if an alternate [[image]] should be loaded for the object based on the map's [[Theaters|theater]]. If this is set, the game will discard the {{Tt|SHP}} extension of the filename and use the same extension this theater's terrain tiles use. Correspondingly, the file it uses is not necessarily the standard tem file, such as the original {{tt|tree##.tem}}. The characters used for each theater can be found on the [[Theaters]] page.

In {{ra2}}/{{yr}}, {{f|Theater|yes}} essentially hardcodes the object to be a [[TerrainTypes|terrain object]]. Ore can spawn and grow in their [[Foundation]] range, and they can use the relevant {{f|SpawnsTiberium|link}}, {{f|IsAnimated|link}}, {{f|AnimationRate|link}}, and {{f|AnimationProbability|link}} flags associated with spawning ore. 

Objects with {{f|Theater|yes}} will furthermore not accept most art flags such as {{f|ActiveAnim|link}} or {{f|Palette|link}}.

==Note==
*For the [[TerrainTypes]] object, even if '''Theater=yes''' is not specified, if you have an object file whose extension ends with a theater abbreviation, such as .tem .sno .urb etc., when you play in that theater, the object image will change to the current image in that theater file.

=={{Bugs}}==
* Although this flag is parsed on all object types, it only works properly on [[shape]] art.
* This flag does not work with [[InfantryTypes]].

==On Maps==
{{Flag
|files={{Categ|Maps}}
|values={{values|string|[[Theaters]]}}
|types={{Categ|Maps}}
|ts=yes
|fs=yes
|hp=yes
|ra2=yes
|yr=yes
|ares=yes
}}
Specifies which [[Theaters|theater]] this map should use. Technically, this allows you to change the theater of the map at will, for example from a snow map to a temperate map, without otherwise editing the map or creating a whole new map.<br>
However, most theaters have minimal interchangeability because their tilesets don't always have equivalents in all theaters. Therefore, changing the map theater may result in graphical errors.

==Example==
<div><ul> 
<li style="display: inline-block;">[[File:Hill Between(Original).png|frame|A Hill Between (Original, Theater=URBAN)]]</li>
<li style="display: inline-block;">[[File:Hill Between(NEWURBAN).png|frame|A Hill Between (Theater=NEWURBAN)]]</li>
</ul></div>
