Who made up the audience in the ancient Greek theatres?

There are conflicting ideas, some argue that it was only members of the polis (male citizens) who attended (i.e. no women, children, slaves, prisoners etc.), while others argue performances honoring Dionysus, and other Gods later, were so important religiously and socially that EVERYONE came. Having studied theatre history for a decade now, I am inclined to agree with the former over the latter, as women in Ancient Greece rarely left the confines of the home, for to do so was to invite scandal and was believed to be quite dangerous.

At any rate, performances are believed to have lasted all day, ending at sunset since there wasn't any advanced lighting technology available as yet. The audiences were notoriously rowdy and came and went, drank and ate meals and argued the merits of the plays performed. This was a social time that is believed to have spurred democracy by offering a place where people came together communally and debated the major moral issues presented by the Greek tragedies and the satirical messages of the comedies. The largest theatres could hold up to 15,000 people who came from all over to see the performance competitions (3 plays in one day).

How did Macedonian society differ from Classical Greece?

It was more like archaic Greece with a King, similar to the Greek Mollossians (Epirotes) in culture, with some elements similar to their non-Greek neighboring Thracians and Illyrians as they were cut off for a long time from the developmental progress of the Greek city states. For this reason, they were viewed as semi-barbaric by the classical Greek city states. They spoke a rough Greek dialect and were later in developing more refined Greek cities, such as Pella, Aegai and Thessalonika. They came to rule over some non-Greek tribes as they were on the northern border of the Greek world. Worshipped the same gods and goddesses as classical Greek states and had Greek names for individuals and cities. With time, became more and more absorbed into the classical Greek fold, especially from the 300s B.C. and on. Many classical Greek thinkers and artists (egs. Aristotle and Euripides) were invited to work at the Macedonian court. Eventually Macedonian society was entirely fused with the rest of the Greek world, adopting the Athenian dialect and classical Greek ways. Through Alexander's conquests, they spread classical Greek culture far and wide.

There are theories that the Dorian tribes of Greece such as the Spartans, Argives and Corinthians were derived from Macedonians and Epirotes as their dialect was similar, there were legends of a Dorian invasion from that area, Herodotus states that the Dorians came from a tribe called the Makednoi, and the Macedonian kings claimed descent from Argos.
