rain
- Like at the Colesseum
and the Circus Maximus
a rich person holds the
games in honor of the
Gods

the Emperor
- Actors

- As the audience
were sometimes
along way away
from the stage,
large masks were
worn by the actor to
portray their
feelings
- In most plays the actors
didn't speak
- The audience spoke freely
during the show
- The job was low paid
and considered just
above beggars
- Criminals were
actually killed on
stage for a death
sequence
- Day at the theatre

day and save a seat and
bring food for lunch
