THE HISTORY OF THEATRE

OVERVIEW Q. Where did theatre begin? A. As some may answer ancient greeks and romans, theatre really began with story telling. Since story telling is a natural human desire, it has been around since the cavemen. The cavemen would tell sories through their cave paintings and sometimes their artifacts(pottery, tablets, baskets, ext.) So one could say theatre began as early as time itself.
