It was called θέατρον (theatron meaning ''seeing place').
Prisoners were released from prison for the day in order to see theatre, so they likely sat with the rest of the population in the main theatron. No excavation has uncovered any special boxes within the theatres other than those boxes for the wealthy, so any prisoners in attendance sat in the audience with civilians.
No, they did not. The wall of the skene and the shape of the theatron provided amplification, in addition to a very loud voice. Masks were used to represent the character being played, as one actor often (indeed, almost always) played several parts per play given the restriction of only three actors per play and had few other ways of signifying the change. They also protrayed various emotions, as the actors' faces were hidden.
the parts of the theatron is what is inside the theatre. !!! :)
