It comes from old theater layouts where the stage was raked or tilted toward the audience, so if an actor went away from the audience, it was moving up and toward the audience was moving down.

No, they did not. The wall of the skene and the shape of the theatron provided amplification, in addition to a very loud voice.

Masks were used to represent the character being played, as one actor often (indeed, almost always) played several parts per play given the restriction of only three actors per play and had few other ways of signifying the change. They also protrayed various emotions, as the actors' faces were hidden.

Nobody is responsible for the invention of scenery. Scenery is the view that is seen from different angles by a person.

Hard to fully interact with audience as people further back are not close to actors so cannot see as well.

A proscenium arch stage is the modern traditional stage you see in most dedicated theatrical venues. The proscenium is a wall with a large arch where the main curtain line separates the "house" (where the audience sits) from the "onstage" (containing the main stage acting area and the backstage area).

Usually there is more stage extending into the house area called a "thrust." Between the audience and thrust stage is the orchestra pit or simply the "Pit" where musicians can play for the audience without blocking the audience's view from the actors.

Backstage, there is a "shop" where sets can be constructed before a production or stored during a performance. The "fly system" or "fly's" is a series of pulleys and weights which can raise or lower set pieces from the "grid" (located above the main stage). The light booth and sound booth are located usually behind the audience, a location known as "front of house," and also considered a backstage area.

It will vary from company to company. Sometimes there may be a Company Stage Manager, otherwise the Production Manager.

Stage Managers also have to answer the Director and, ultimately, the Producer.

The steps lead up from the Orchestra (dancing floor) to the highest levels of the auditorium at the top of the hill.
