Question

Plz help mee

Answer 1

they wore masks that covered their whole heads, with large openings at the mouth so that they could be heard. women were not allowed to act, so young men plaed the women. actors wo played the role of a god wore platform shoes to make themselves taller.

Answer 2

they were built upon hillsides. drama was born of festivals to the greek god dionysus.

Answer 3

Your question is toooo vague and broad!!! What aspect of the ancient Greek theater are you interested in? Especially, the Platonic or pre-socratic era??!! And also, the Stoics and the Scenic's influenced the theater/playes of the day too.  Are you interested in the archetecture? As you can see, you have a ton of considerations.... So, if you can narrow you question down, then I can help you further!

Answer 4

They were open ampitheatres built into the hillside, called 'theatrons', and it was the common evening pastime, for plays to be performed in fair weather

Answer 5

Not only were the Greek theaters usually built into hillsides, but they were acoustically nearly perfect.  If you go into a poorly designed stadium or theater today, everyone has to be miked, and without a microphone, a person in the back can't hear anything on stage.  A Greek theater never had microphones, and didn't need them.  A person sitting in the top row could hear everything from the stage clearly.  They wore masks with overexaggerated faces on them so that people in the back could clearly make out what was going on.  Plays were often parodies of the current events (Much like the Daily show or Colbert Report), although there were many feature style performances that we think of today as theater.
