Here's why:
* Subject Pronoun: "Us" is an object pronoun. It's used when the pronoun is the object of a verb or preposition.
* Subject-Verb Agreement: The subject of the sentence is "performers," which is a plural noun. The verb "love" needs to agree with the plural subject.
Correct Usage:
The correct sentence would be: "We performers love theater."
* "We" is a subject pronoun and agrees with the plural subject "performers."
