what are the differences between greek theatre and modern theatre. please expound on you answers?

answers1: There are many differences. Greek theater had a chorus,
which sang and likely danced. The arrangement of the stage was
completely different, featuring a single building with a large
entrance on to the stage, a crane to bring divine characters in on a
higher level, a dancing area for the chorus, and so on. Actors were
all male and performed in masks; there were few actors available for
the playwright's use (two or later three could be on stage at a time).
Plays were put on at civic/religious festivals, not as standalone
productions, and cycles of four plays (three tragedies and a comic
satyr play) by the same author were performed. The list could go on
for a while.
answers2: You needed three things for Greek Theatre. They are an
audience, performers and something to perform. It is the same with
modern theatre. It has not changed in twenty five hundred years.
answers3: In ancient Greece the theaters here HUGE, so actors had to
focus on being loud. They also wore masks.
answers4: A friend and I did this for a short answer in school- <br>
<br>
Greek theater was very different from modern theater. Greeks only did
two types of dramas- tragedy and comedy. Today we still do those but
have a lot more like musical theater. Also a comedy back then means
something different form now. In Ancient Greece a comedy meant a happy
ending while a tragedy was a sad ending. Today a tragedy kinda means
the same but a comedy means something funny. Also only men were
allowed to preform, even the women roles. Today both men and women are
on stage. Then lastly, greeks did dramas for religious festivals,
today we do it for many reasons. <br>
