Answer:

greek theatre has greatly influenced modern theatre

Step-by-step explanation:

some ways that greek theatre and modern theatre are similar is in that both theatres allow space for an orchestra, both actors of the plays use costumes and masks to portray their character, both are communal activities that everyone enjoys, tales from greek theatre are still told and retold in modern theatre, both use a narrator or a chorus, modern theatres still use the circular seating found in greek theatres, and keep the same layout. hope these helped!

Answer:

Here

Step-by-step explanation:

Greek theatres the seating was arranged in a semi-circle and curve down into the centre following the natural shape of the hillside. There are many modern theatres which are arranged in this way however many have the whole audience directly opposite the stage like in a cinema
