At the time, actors were seen as people with bad morals. Performances supposedly drew bad crowds and sent immoral messages.

The catholic church believed that theatrical performances were blasphemous and places of debauchery which led people to sin. This would be the closest answer possible since you didn't provide possible answers to choose from.
