It started as a religious festival to honor the god Dionysis. Early Greeak theatre were hymn-type passages that were recited by a large chorus. Later on, Thespis, introduced the concept of an actor. He would have one person, that would respond to and intereact with the chorus. Other playwrights extended this idea. Eventually one actor became two, then three, etc.
