Answer:

Around the middle of the 5th century BC, the skene began to appear in Greek theatre. Placing a skene behind the orchestra – where the performers acted, played, and danced – broke what is thought to have been the original theatre in the round nature of Greek theatre. The skene also served as another "hidden stage".
