Broadly speaking, the Atlantic and the Pacific. In the Pacific the enemy was Japan, in the Atlantic, Germany and Italy. But each of these vast areas was divided into several theaters of operations.
The War against Japan involved the Central Pacific Theater of Operations, the Southwest Pacific Theater of Operations, and the China-Burma-India Theater.
In the Atlantic the war against Germany and Italy involved North Africa, the Mediterranean Theater of Operations, the Middle East, and the European Theater of Operations.
The above considers only American and British forces. There was fighting in other places where the Americans and British did not participate, most notably the "Eastern Front" where Germany was battling the Soviet Union.

Were there theaters in World War 2?
The word "theater" comes from ancient Greek, and can be used two ways. It originally meant a place for viewing, as in a hall where plays were performed; later, it meant a place to see movies. But during World War II, it carried another meaning. We heard about the "theater of operation" or the "Pacific theater"-- this referred to a location or region where fighting was occurring, it referenced the strategic plans for that region. So, yes there were both movie theaters and military theaters in that era. The movie theaters often showed patriotic films, and tried to keep people's spirits up. The military theaters were supervised by generals who planned the strategy specific to that region.
