== == A group of actors who function as a unit, called a chorus, was a characteristic feature of the Greek tragedy. The members of the chorus shared a common identity, such as Asian Bacchantes or old men of Thebes. The choragos (leader of the chorus) sometimes spoke and acted separately. In some of the plays, the chorus participated directly in the action; in others they were restricted in observing the action and commenting on it. The chorus also separated the individual sins by singing and dancing choral odes, though just what the singing and dancing were like is uncertain. The odes were in strict metrical patterns; sometimes they were direct comments on the action and characters, and at other times they were more general statements and judgments. A chorus in Greek fashion is not common in later plays, although there are instances such as T.S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral, in which the Women of Canterbury serve as a chorus.
It is when a group of actors come together and sing and act.

Religious festivals in honour of the gods were two types - athletics and theatre. The Olympics and others eg Nemean, Isthmian Games, were athletics. Theatre was the centrepiece of festivals at many cities - eg the Athenian Dionysius festival. At these festivals the plays consisted of a few actors and a chorus. The chorus sang and danced parts of the story of the plays to complement the actors' roles.
Greek theatre was part of a religious festival for a god (s). It originally was people singing and dancing around an altar in a forest glade. It developed into a theatre with an altar centrepiece and three actors with a chorus singing and dancing a play, witnessed by an audience seated around on bleachers..
The use of the chorus, the structure of the play, and also Dysart refers to ancient Greece multiple times.
The Chorus still plays an integral part in modern theatre. In ancient Greek theatre, the Chorus would emphasize the main points of the plot line, just as the ensemble emphasizes the themes in song in modern musical theatre.
