Greek Theater Structure Comedies & Tragedies were always performed in amphitheaters (outdoor theaters). Orchestra: “Dancing Space” was normally circular. It was a level, flat space where chorus would dance, sing, and interact with actors on the stage near the Skene. Theatron: “Viewing Place” was where the spectators sat and was usually part of a hillside overlooking a large portion of the Orchestra.

GK Theater Structure Skene: “Tent” was the building directly behind the stage. It was usually decorated as a palace, temple, or other building depending on the needs of the play. The roof was also accessible, so actors playing gods or other characters could appear on the roof. Parados: “Passageways” are the paths by which the chorus and some other characters made their entrances and exits.

Structure of the Plays The basic structure of a GK Tragedy is fairly simple. After a prologue is spoken by one or more characters, the chorus enters, singing, and dancing. Scenes then alternate between spoken sections (dialogue between characters, and between characters and chorus) and sung sections (during which the chorus danced).

Parts of a Greek Tragedy: Prologue: Spoken by one or two characters before the chorus appears. It usually gives the mythological background necessary for understanding the events of the play. Parados: This is a song sung by the chorus as it first enters the orchestra and dances. First Episode: This is the first of many “episodes,” when the chorus and the characters talk.

Parts of a Greek Tragedy: 4. First Stasimon: At the end of each episode, the other characters usually leave the stage, and the chorus dances and sings a stasimon, or choral ode. The ode usually reflects on the things said and done in the episodes, and puts in some kind of larger mythological framework. For the rest of the play, there is an alternation between episodes and stasima, until the final scene called the… 5. Exodos: At the end of the play, the chorus exits singing a processional song which usually offers words of wisdom related to the actions and outcome of the play.
