In ancient Greek theatres, the front row was reserved for the priests and priestesses who were responsible for overseeing the religious aspects of the performances. They were seated in the area known as the "prohedria," which translates to "front seats." These individuals had important ceremonial roles during the theatrical productions and were given the best seats in the house to honor their status and significance in Greek society.
