Welcome to Theater History page!

The topic I have pick to do for this project is about the history of theatre. I chose to do this topic because I have a passion for the arts of theatre. Whether it be on an actual stage or have it be shown on a big screen both of them are a big part of my life. I just wanted to be able to gather all of the information out there about theatre in both forms in one general location in a very creative kind of way.

Some of the beginning information is that the history of theatre is charted to be developed over the past 2,500 years. Now while the performative elements are present in every society, it is customary to acknowledge as a distinction between theatre as an art form and entertainment, and theatrical and or performative elements in other activities. Now the history of theatre is primarily concerned with the origin and subsequent development of the theatre as an autonomous activity.
