Naturally the next time it happens the ceremonial acts are improved on or made more significant in view of the hosts and their supporters or helpers. Since the whole/ most of the community are part of what takes place it gets more innovations, improvements, stylisations which will continue to grow as outside influences or new innovations in economies, new political ideas etc. bringing their influence. These simple beginnings are the ones which dramtic and theatrical works borrow from.

theater
c.1374, "open air place in ancient times for viewing spectacles," from O.Fr. theatre (12c.), from L. theatrum, from Gk. theatron "theater," lit. "place for viewing," from theasthai "to behold" (cf. thea "a view," theates "spectator") + -tron, suffix denoting place. Meaning "building where plays are shown" (1577) was transferred to that of "plays, writing, production, the stage" (1668). Spelling with -re prevailed in Britain after c.1700, but Amer.Eng. retained or revived the older spelling in -er. Generic sense of "place of action" is from 1581; especially "region where war is being fought" (1914). Theatrical "pertaining to the theater" is recorded from 1558; in the sense of "stagy, histrionic" it is attested from 1709.
