Introduction • Did you know that more than 14,000 people in ancient Greece used to visit the theatre. • When learning about ancient Greek theatre one should know: why is it important, what did they act, when, where and why was it held. • Theatre is about expressing emotion in a fun and entertaining manner.
Famous devotes to the theatre • During the 6th century a Greek singer named Thespis quit the chorus that he was singing in and started his career of being the first ever actor. • Sophocles was a writer who wrote more than 100 plays.

Conclusion • Thank you for being a great audients and I hope you enjoyed me and Aaron’s presentation.
