What type of mask is a Greek theatre mask?
The Greek mask was a full-face mask with exaggerated features made out of balsa wood and cork, covered with linen and painted to resemble the human face. In later times a small megaphone was made into the mouth opening to help magnify the voice.
What job can you get with a Bachelors in theater?
This totally depends on your skills and interests.
If you wish to remain in your field, often teaching and academics is the route you need to go. Professional schools such as law, business, and (if you have some science background) medicine certainly accept a great many liberal studies majors. Beyond that, employers are mostly interested in hiring smart people with a good set of skills and the ability to learn and grow. Are you particularly passionate about some field? Can you turn it into a job? I know Classics majors in business and Spanish majors who started their own companies and philosophy majors who are engineers.
Obviously some jobs require special training (engineering, sales, trades,...). Whether you have such training, or have the interest or ability to get the training depends on you.
In my experience, few undergraduate majors really prepare you for the workplace -- even pre-professional majors. Most workplaces require skills you learn on the job. Liberal arts/studies teaches you critical thinking, writing, and communication skills, which you need everywhere. In that sense, a liberal arts major can be better than a pre-professional degree.
Answer
There is a good book to read and think about called Jobs for English majors and other smart people by John L Munschauer

What are three different street dance moves?
3 simple moves for the beginner.
1.step turn step: basically you step onto your right-leg,pick up the left leg and turn to face the back and put your left-leg down. then pick up your right leg and turn to face the front then put your right leg down in first position [legs together] do this faster and faster and there you go! the step turn step. or add a clap on the end and it turns into step turn step clap.
2. step clap: basically you stand in first position [legs together] step out on your left leg then bring your right leg to meet it so you are back in first position. clap when your right leg meets the ground. do this slowly then get faster and faster. there you go step clap! or you could do a jump when you bring your right leg in this is called step jump clap.
3. this move is a bit harder to explain. its called the box step. first you stand in first position. step forwards on your right leg then on your left leg. keep your legs apart [second position] then step back on your right leg then on your left back into first position. this move is a bit harder to explain but i hope it makes sense.

What does it take to be on Broadway?
Overall, not very good. There are TONS of bands out there, but (relatively speaking) only a few make it big.
However, it really depends on your definition of "making it". A new documentary is being filmed that features bands from Phoenix, AZ that have since "made it" on a national level.
Many relatively "unknown" bands have fulfilled their desires to go on tour and perform for audiences across the country. Start by performing locally, as there are many venues that prefer to feature local bands. This will also give you an idea as to how popular your music is.
Are you hoping to "quit your day job" and make a decent living doing nothing but performances? This will only happen if you are very good AND very lucky. Are you hoping to gather a moderate fan base, sell a few CDs, a couple songs on iTunes, and go on tour? Then your odds are relatively decent, and it's a matter of determination.
There are not any hard figures to show what the odds are, exactly, as some bands are obviously a lot more talented (and better financed) than others.

What are three types of theater?
Types of Play
Motor/Physical Play
Motor play provides critical opportunities for children to develop both individual gross and fine muscle strength and and overall integration of muscles, nerves, and brain functions. Recent research has confirmed the critical link between stimulating activity and brain development. Young children must have ample opportunities to develop physically, and motor play instills this disposition toward physical activity in young children.
Social Play
A variety of opportunities for children to engage in social play are the best mechanisms for progressing through the different social stages. By interacting with others in play settings, children learn social rules such as, give and take, reciprocity, cooperation, and sharing. Through a range of interactions with children at different social stages, children also learn to use moral reasoning to develop a mature sense of values. To be prepared to function effectively in the adult world, children need to participate in lots of social situations.
Constructive Play
Constructive play is when children manipulate their environment to create things. This type of play occurs when children build towers and cities with blocks, play in the sand, construct contraptions on the woodworking bench, and draw murals with chalk on the sidewalk. Constructive play allows children to experiment with objects; find out combinations that work and don't work; and learn basic knowledge about stacking, building, drawing, making music and constructing. It also gives children a sense of accomplishment and empowers them with control of their environment. Children who are comfortable manipulating objects and materials also become good at manipulating words, ideas and concepts.
Fantasy Play
Children learn to abstract, to try out new roles and possible situations, and to experiment with language and emotions with fantasy play. In addition, children develop flexible thinking; learn to create beyond the here and now; stretch their imaginations, use new words and word combinations in a risk-free environment, and use numbers and words to express ideas, concepts, dreams, and histories. In an ever-more technological society, lots of practice with all forms of abstraction - time, place, amount, symbols, words, and ideas - is essential.
Games With Rules
Developmentally, most children progress from an egocentric view of the world to an understanding of the importance of social contracts and rules. Part of this development occurs as they learn that games like Follow the Leader, Red Rover, Simon Says, baseball and soccer cannot function without everyone adhering to the same set of rules. The "games with rules" concept teaches children a critically important concept - the game of life has rules (laws) that we all must follow to function productively.

Why was theater of this time called Elizabethan theater?
It was greatly improved from where it was when the church had outlawed it for being a 'cult'. Queen Elizabeth's father had brought it back by stopping the Pope's power in England. So the role was entertainment, and expression of freedom, and occupation, and bringing back the past.
