Ancient Greeks Early Theater was performed on an amphitheater stage, that seated well over 10,000 people. The main problem was that people who sat all the way in the back row could not see or hear the story from their seat.

Ancient Greeks Cont. In order to fix this problem, the Greeks built 2 Large basic masks that told the audience if a character was happy or sad. Since then, the masks have become the international symbol of all theater, and have been the two main categories of theater……
