THE PENZA DRAMA THEATRE.LUNACHARSKY

THE ANCIENT THEATER IN GREECE
Greek theater buildings were called a theatron ('seeing place'). The theaters were large, open-air structures constructed on the slopes of hills. They consisted of three principal elements: the orchestra, the scène, and the audience.

The centrepiece of the theater was the orchestra, or "dancing place", a large circular or rectangular area. The orchestra was the site the choral performances, the religious rites, and, possibly, the acting.

Behind the orchestra was a large rectangular building called the skene (meaning "tent" or "hut"). It was used as a "backstage" area where actors could change their costumes and masks, but also served to represent the location of the plays, which were usually set in front of a palace or house.

Typically, there were two or three doors in the skene that led out onto orchestra, and from which actors could enter and exit.

Modern theater or theatre (also a playhouse) is a structure where theatrical works or plays are performed,
or other performances such as musical concerts may be given.
