1.) The Greeks preformed 2 kinds of drama in the theaters of Ancient Greece. The first was tragedy and the second was comedy. Tragedy was a serious drama about common themes such as love, hate, war, or betrayal. Tragedy's usually have a main character or a tragic hero. A comedy contained scenes filled with slapstick situations and crude humor. Comedies often made fun of politics and respected people.
2.) I have watched many comedic movies lately and they also seem to attack politics or make jokes about political or important leaders. In Ancient Greece, they also targeted respected leaders. They both contain a series of jokes that keep the audience laughing. There are many late night shows such as "Late Night with Seth Meyers" and "The Late Night Show with Jimmy Fallon" that target politics and make jokes about the political leaders such as Trump.
3.) A theatre was an outdoor arena with plenty of seating circled around a stage. The actors preformed on the center stage. The theatre's were generally underground and many people came to watch the plays.
Good work, Avery.
