To find the total number of chairs in the theater, we first calculate the number of chairs in the original setup.

The theater has 6 rows of 26 chairs each, so we calculate the total number of chairs as follows:

$$
6 \text{ rows} \times 26 \text{ chairs/row} = 156 \text{ chairs}
$$

Next, we add the extra 9 chairs that have just been brought in:

$$
156 \text{ chairs} + 9 \text{ chairs} = 165 \text{ chairs}
$$

Therefore, the total number of chairs in the theater now is

$$
\boxed{165}
$$
The theater now has 165 chairs.
