In 300 words or less, explain how ancient greek drama is different from our contemporary experience at the movies or at the theatre.

By the way, change the answer up a bit or you may be caught for plagiarism and pls give a Brainliest. There is difference between Greek drama and contemporary experience.In ancient times,Greek dramas were performed in an outdoor setting where the audience seats were almost around 20,000 people. The plays were performed by three people who were always men. These actors wore masks playing the characters and went back to the stage and switched on to another mask to portray another character. The plays were mostly performed as a competition between poets or playwrits as a part of an annual religious festival honoring the Greek God, Dionysus. The plays involved great preparation and were performed only once. The Greek theater was organized in a half circle and in the center,the orchestra was placed where  the actors and chorus would sing, dance, and interact. A theymele was also placed at the center. There were Parados or passageways on the either side of the orchestra which were mainly the entrance and exit points for the chorus,actors and the audience. Whereas, modern day plays or movies are mostly in an enclosed setting and there are more than three characters. Not only men but women also take part in plays and movies.

Explanation:

Both ancient Greek theater and modern movies are meant  to be causal entertainment for the masses. However, this is basically where the similarities end. The only other thing that is remotely similar is the soundtrack being an echo of the long-lost chorus. Not only is the chorus gone, but the technique of bringing all the people to one singular event is lost on the modern movie viewing. In ancient times, the theater was a large gathering of about 20,000, more like a festival by modern standards. Modern film is filmed in one location, but is then shown in many locations at once. This means that unlike in ancient Greece, where people had to come to the only pace the play was, now you can go to any one theater and see the movie. Another difference, is that live actors are no longer on stage to interact with the audience. In modern theater, audiences don't interact with each other, either.
