Greek plays, particularly tragedies, developed from rituals dedicated to the worship of the Greek god, Dionysus. The dithyrambs began with choruses of fifty singing and dancing praises to the god. Thespis added the actor; Aeschylus added the second actor, and the number o the chorus diminished, but the vestiges of the choral ritual remained.

Why and which Greek scholars educated Cleopatra and at which museum?

Greek teachers educated Cleopatra because she was Greek and all the Ptolemies were educated in the Greek traditions. Which Greek scholars is unknown. The "museo" or museum which was attached to the Library of Alexandria was the source of the greatest knowledge in the ancient world, but there's no evidence that Cleopatra ever studied there. Her teachers would have come to her in the palace. This is not to say that she didn't, at some time take a tour of it, but it is highly unlikely that she would have actually studied there.
