It doesn't
Simply put Greek theatre is the reason we have theatre today. It's said that theatre started the moment a member of the Greek chorus stepped out from the other and sang on his own. So much of the theatre that is done today is meant to hark back to the time when the art was just beginning to be created. The Greeks where also the first to use the wagon on stage, not to mention they had the ability to fly people onto and off of the stage using a giant crane. We also have a hard time mastering the acoustics of a Greek theatre. In allot of ways we are still trying to be as good at theatre as the Greeks where. Most importantly we still use the Greek plot structures in the plays that are written today.

Why is Dionysus important to the Greek theater?
Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fertility, and revelry, is crucial to the origin of Greek theater as many of the earliest plays were performed in his honor during festivals like the Dionysia. These festivals featured dramatic competitions where playwrights showcased their works, blending ritual, music, and dance, which laid the foundation for Western theater. Additionally, Dionysus represents themes of transformation and ecstasy, which are central to the narratives explored in Greek tragedies and comedies. His influence on performance and storytelling continues to resonate in theater today.
