The history of theatre humanities can be dated to as early as the period of traditional Greek. Since that time the varied ages witnessed changes in the sorts of theatre stages, which influenced the actors and also lead to various types of acting. Theatres commonly known as amphitheaters housed a massive round stage which was trapped three-fourth by audience.

This is how a stage would be set in the Greek Time . Amphitheater could accommodate an audience of 25,000 at a time which made it terribly tough to see what is going on on for the crowd at the rear. To triumph over this obstruction the actors would be loud with grandiose voice and big gestures and to be more obvious wore mask and symbological attires. High pitched chorus was employed to as a way of cautioning of an upcoming event or to recommendation co-actors. To boost the visibility and to give a deception of fact to the plays they were held in light and a genuine landscape acted as the background of the play. In the medieval era facilities were more usually available to several of the inhabitants of the community. Theatres too were no longer reserved for the wealthy.

Plays were held on vans more famous as competitions. The lorry would be dragged into the market where the play was decided to be held. Spectators would surround the stage from all sides and would watch the play. The subjects of the majority of the plays at that time were the daily events and day by day experiences showed as an ironic comedy or as a real mime depending on the flavour of the onlookers.

This made an interaction between the crowd and the actors with the onlookers expressing their perspectives on the theme. In the Renaissance Period theatre performance took the shape of pro performance more than an inventive one. The blueblood of Britain started investing into performing groups and theatres with an apron stage.

The apron stage had an oblong platform with virtually an audience of two thousand surrounding the 3 sides of it and was in spitting distance with the actors performing on stage. With the rich noblemen paying for the plays the costumes were designed with more details and were sublime. Inhabitants from all cults of the society attended these plays so an effort was made to delight a huge array of spectators by taking different storylines under consideration. The period round the 17th and 18th C was called the Restoration period.

The theatres around this time were smaller in comparison to those of the Renaissance period and held up to 5 hundred spectators at a time. This period gave a cap on sunlight lit auditoriums replacing them with closed rooms lit fully with synthetic light.

Stages were bounded with decorated frames but with no curtains like the modern times. Though the audiences were not in close vicinity of the stage, a little stage stuck out into the auditorium in order to increase the interaction between the crowd and the actors. Absence of curtain impeded the privacy of changing of scenes which influenced the pragmatic illusion. Demonstrations by the restoration period were personality driven with more stress on the perfectionism, social problems, and views. The stage in the later centuries developed into what is commonly known as the proscenium stage or picture frame stage. It's designed and named after the method of how one visualises a picture. There's an outlined split between the viewers and the actors with the arrival of ramp. Curtains added to this and the same time gave privacy to modify scenes so making a practical and elaborated picturization. The auditorium is darkened during the performance there by skyrocketing the density of the crowd.
