Both of your spellings are correct. The word theatre may also be commonly seen as theater but theatre is also correct.

The first is the more common usage.

In the US, we use "theater" and "ampitheater," but keep in mind this is American, rather than English, and we cash "checks" instead of "cheques." The more literate people do write "theatre," but either form is recognized and accepted.

all depends...theater is the less refined way to spell it I suppose...Big name theater companies like to spell it Theatre...so I guess you could say:
-Theater: casual
-Theatre: sophisticated
