First Stop
Welcome to Brook Atkinson Theater on Broadway, one of the finest places in the country to watch live shows. We have to thank Thespis, a Greek thespian that contributed theater to us. He created to dramas that were either tragedies and comedies. We are here to watch Peter and the Starcatchers which is a comedy. Let us explore Broadway and help us appreciate the Greeks for this contribution.
Second Stop
Enjoy the view everyone, we have come to our country's capital. The birth of democracy was given to us by the Greeks. Athens was a democratic city-state where citizens would vote on every issue. We have changed democracy a little by sending representatives here to vote on different issues. Without democracy, our culture would not even have existed!
Third Stop
Our last stop brings us to the Lincoln Memorial. The Lincoln Memorial showcases Doric columns which are given to us by the Greeks. The Greeks give us architecture which includes three columns; Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Let us adore these columns given to us by the Greeks as we explore Washington.
