Ancient Actors

Did you know that the Ancient Greeks invented the theater? They loved watching plays, and most cities had a theater, some of them were big enough to hold 15,000 people! Only men and boys were allowed to be actors, and they wore masks, which showed the audience whether their character was happy or sad. Some of the masks had two sides, so the actor could turn them around to change the mood for each scene. So my question to you is what do you think about how only men and boys were aloud to be actors?
