Who began drama?
I believe it derived from early religious festivals like that of the 'festival of Dionysis' in Ancient Greece. Head-dresses were used and dances were staged paving the way for scripted entertainment from the like of Aristohines. Drama could have gone further back as it depends on how you would categorise 'drama'. It certainly stemmed from festivals and Religious performances.

Where did Greek drama developed from?
The Greek theatre - the original theatre as we know it in Western Civilization - grew out of the religious ceremonies of the Greeks. These ecstatic rituals eventually included choral speaking sections that famously evolved when Thespis first stepped out of the crowd and created dialogue by speaking separately from the chorus.
Why are religious festivals relevant to the 21st century?
Religious festivals are relevant to the 21st century because although times have changed, people have not. People still need their grounding. The German Philosopher Nietzsche announced "God is dead." He promptly created the religion of Scientism. It demanded the slaughter of the Jews. One man commented, "When God dies, it is not that people stop believing in god. It is they start believing anything." People will create their festivals. A Phish concert and other such concerts are quite similar to the old camp meeting revivals that began on the frontier at Cain Ridge, Kentucky. They are religious gatherings. In the United States, religions compete with each other. The question is what message are the adherents learning?
