Greek theater

Greek theater was like kabuki theater in their overdone make-up and masks. In the Greek theater, actors had to wear masks so that people could see their facial expressions more clearly. Kabuki actors had over-done makeup so that their faces were more obviously. Both theaters had to have men play women. Kabuki included women originally, but then they were banned. Greek theater never included women.
