The word Theatron originated with the ancient Greeks.

What was the name given to Greek Theatre Buildings?
There are many different parts to the theatre building and stage. The original Greek names have changed in meanings a little. The word 'Theatre' is from the Greek 'Theatron' and means 'the watching place'. this referred to the seating area itself. The seating area was often semi-circular or semi-ovular. At the center of the 'theatron' was the 'Orchestra'. Again, the original meaning is different. The 'orchestra' was where the Greek chorus would dance and sing (the changing of the chorus over the history of Greek theatre is very interesting and I recommend you ask about the Chorus later). The last part of the theatre was the 'Skene', from where we get the word scene. The Skene was the actual stage where the actors engaged each other. The Skene was often a permanent structure and built with great architectural detail.
