Definition
剧场 (jùchǎng) refers to a theater building or performance venue — the physical place where plays, concerts, etc. are held. It is similar to 剧院 (jùyuàn), but 剧场 emphasizes the venue itself, while 剧院 often implies a larger, named theater institution. Do not confuse it with 话剧 (huàjù, 'stage play'), which is the performance, not the place.
