Introduction
The Roman theatre was never as popular as the other
popular Roman entertainments (i.e. horse racing,
gladitorial matches, ect.) but Roman citizens did like
it. To the average Roman citizen, life didn't revolve
around plays, but around religion. Most plays were
performed at festivals, since many festivals were
performed throughout the year, the Roman people became
very familiar with various acting troupes, characters,
plays, and playwrights. The Ancient Roman stage set the
stage for our later theatre productions.
