Theater

The company with which he was most associated was The Lord Chamberlain's Men (later the King's Men) which was formed in 1594. However Shakespeare was around the theatrical world before that and must have associated with earlier companies. Exactly when, we do not know--we only know that his career started before 1592.

A choral theater is a mixed voice choir that sings together and puts on performances.

The word thespian comes from the first actor Thespus, who was the first actor to ever speak alone on stage. In the 5th Century of B.C.E., Thespus leads a chorus to win the "golden goat", which was like the Oscar of their time. Productions the chorus produce include Antigone and Creon.

The Golden Age of Greece was after the Greek's wars with Persia which they won, by luck and the help of Athens' powerful navy. The Greek's realized that they needed to become one nation instead of separate city states who almost only shared a language.

Athens as the head, decided to setup the Delian League which all the city states in the alliance paid money to them in which they would create an army and navy in case the Persians tryed to attack them again. A good idea, right? It would have been if Athens hadn't become greedy. They did create a moderate army and navy, but most of the money went to their city. They created temples, theaters, buildings, everything. It was the height of Athens the classical era, or the Golden Age.

Sparta did catch on though and decided that Athens needed to be stopped. They fought the Peloponnesian War for 27 years in which Sparta finally won, BUT destroyed Greece in the process and made them vulnerable to the Macedonian invaders.

Phillip II conquered Greece but liked their culture and let them keep it. It was his son Alexander the great though that spread it across the known world.

In terms of the actors directly, there is a need of dance training (helps with movement), vocal training, observational skills, and having lived or at least seen and understood some life.

Directors and ADs tend to have been actors at one point, or have at the very least studied it.

Script Writers also tend to have had some experience in the physical acting world, they need to understand how to write things that won't come off as odd when spoken because some things work on the page and not in reality.

Then you get the Stage Manager. They are basically the director at show time while the director is off being the business man. They also are in charge of the backstage crew and very often working in direct tandem with the Tech director.

When you don't have a specific tech design crew the Tech Director takes over that role, and serves as the communication point between actors/crew, and director/light-sound crew.

Then you have the crew. It's typically broken into stage crew, which are the movers and setter-uppers of the stage/props. The tech crew works with the lighting, sound, and other mechanical aspects of the production. The costume crew does what you would expect, costuming and on occasion set design as well when there isn't a department for that in and of itself. The Make-up crew does, you guessed it, hair and make-up.

Then you get into the business side of it with producers (the money), advertisers, ushers, concessions, photographers, filming (if you're up for that kind of thing).

This isn't a complete answer and pretty basic. However, for a smaller scale production the roles can be pared down and paired up.

-your welcome!

this is why people shouldn't rely on wiki answers... 1616 is actually the seventeenth century. Just like we are now in the 21st century but it's only 2010. It would be correct to say the sixteen hundreds.

That is the correct spelling of "monologue" (solo speech or presentation).

It really depends on what theatre you're at, but most theatres charge extra for all of their confections.

In ancient times, drama began in Greece as a function of Greek spiritual practice. That is to say, drama was born out of Greek reverence for their gods and was originally intended as a kind of offering to them or as a kind of imitation of them. Much mystery surrounds the origins of Greek drama; however, it is clear that its presentation of stories about human events was seen as a kind of "divine" institution delivered into the creative heads and hearts -- and performance spaces -- of mortals.

Could you be specific? What exactly do you want to do? Is there a particular actress who you're seeing and want to know how to fit into her social group? Is there a particular actress who you know personally that you would like to date? Is this someone who you admire from a distance, but you would like to be with her in spite of you're being from different worlds? Please be specific. Thanks.

1. spiritual. Sometimes a culture will put on theatre to show something that is important to the culture, a sacred myth or legend, for example.

2. entertainment. Theatre is, first and foremost, to entertain the audience. It is an actors goal to get you emotional about the play.
