The History of the World...
As it pertains to Theatre
How it all began
Theatre began with primitive cultures acting out stories and legends to educate the people of their tribes or groups.
It's all Greek to me
The Greeks, in about the 6th century BC started a festival to honor the god, Dionysus. A chorus would act out the stories of gods while narrating them with song.
