Theater
The word theater is a greek word meaning: a place to see

Aristophanes - wrote comedies that poked fun at people and ideas (incl. politics)

Theater (continued)
Greek theater lasted ALL DAY and was OUTSIDE.
Only men could perform on stage and they wore masks with different facial expressions to show emotions.
There weren't many actors in a cast, so the actors had to also use the masks to switch between roles.
People who write plays continue to base the way they write off of the famous plays from ancient greece.
