Greek theatre was performed outside with natural lighting and minimal sets and props. All costumes were rich in color and material and provided most of the effect of the setting. The actors were all male, and wore masks to change characters and suggest the role of a woman if needed. The chorus acts both narrates and converses with characters to help them make decisions.

The orchestra is the stage area and the skene was the backdrop and led to backstage with several entrances, and the actors could also enter through the parados. The audience sat in the theatron (think like the collosseum).

In Jason's presentation, we learned that at the festival, three tragedies would be produced every day followed by a related "Satyr Play" starring, naturally, satyrs. The comdies were produced on the final day. Later the comedies were placed after the tragedies on the earlier days.

Masks!
