 Staging
Plays were presented in amphitheaters or arena
theaters in ancient Greece that could hold up to 25,000
spectators. Actors had to deliver their lines in a
declamatory manner because microphones weren't yet
in use at the time. The architecture of stages has greatly
affected and contributed to the style of theater
throughout history, and vice versa.
