Greek Theater

On Thursday in class Tucker lectured about the Greek Theater.  I actually found all of it pretty interesting.  I already knew that "back in the day" they did not allow any women to be a part of the theater, which I find odd.  Back then men were supposed to be the "real" men, well what kind of a real man does theater?  I would have thought that theater would be the woman's role.  I also think it's funny how the men, or should I say boys that have not hit puberty yet, played the roles of girls and women.  It is hard to believe that those "real" men would want to play the role of a woman.  Also, their theaters could seat close to 50,000 people!!!  The theaters were all outdoor too.  So, they must have had extremely loud and powerful voices to have all 50,000 people hear them.  Back then there were no such thing as microphones or megaphones.  How did they get their whole audience to hear them?  That's my question!
