      because they didn't have any TV or movies.....and they were bored. I think there's a natural inclination for some people to get up on a stage adn entertain others. We like to be  entertained. We like plays and movies b/c it's a type of voyerism......We can pick in at others lives in their home and business place or school......even it it's not real. It's fun to watch. I don't know how my keyboard got on italics. I did not click it on, or push any buttons.

        Greek theater! It began as very simple entertainment and then became more complex as things were added, like larger casts, costumes, masks, sets... all the way up to today's high-tech film and CG.
