Theaters of the Past

The Greek Theater

Theaters developed in many parts of Greece.Ancient Greek theaters were built in natural open air sites on conveniently shaped hills.This allowed a great mass of people to enjoy a show at a time.Due to this,actors placed emphasis on exaggerated(夸张的)action and speech.And,colorful symbolic masks and costumes were used.

The Medieval Theater

The Medieval theater started in churches.That’s why medieval plays were about Bible stories.At first,it became a custom for priests(牧师)to act out brief scenes during Christmas and Easter.These acts attracted large crowds. Finally the church refused to allow priests to participate in any such events again,so ordinary people began these performances outside.Performances were set in the town square,with several stage settings around it.

The Elizabethan Theater

The England’s theater developed rapidly in the years following the defeat of the Spanish Navy.The dominant feature of Elizabethan theater was the stage,It has three parts:The fore stage for outside scenes;the inner stage for scenes inside a building;an upper stage or balcony for various purposes.The reason for this design is that there were no scene changes,or breaks during the play.Very little scenery was used,so the actors had to create a scene through their voices and dialogues.This led to a more poetic script,and poets became the main source of script writing.

The Restoration Theater

Some of the plays told sad stories,but the majority of the plays were really funny.Many specialized machines were used to create the scene.The stage was a very clever idea,in that on the sides of the stage large back shutters(百叶窗) were painted with the scene.

B

A new family moved in next door and I got to meet the mother of the family,Lydia.Lydia is Korean,and her family moved to our city so her husband could go to graduate school.We started talking,and she was apologetic about how bad her English was,but I didn’t care.I knew how hard it was to learn a second language.I enjoyed chatting with Lydia as we watched our kids play.

It was what came next that challenged me:Lydia asked if I’d be willing to help her with her English.Now,I am not a teacher.I admire teachers,and I’m grateful for teachers,and it’s because I admire what they do so much that I was very very sure that I couldn’t do it myself.

But Lydia was sure that she wanted my help.I was doubtful.I wasn’t sure my“help”was even worth being called by that name.But because she asked me,I said“yes.”And that was the beginning of a friendship.Lydia and I spent afternoons sitting together and reading the newspaper,and as we did,she asked me questions when she had them—questions about language,yes,but also questions about the new culture she found herself in.In turn,I asked my own questions,growing curious about her home country and culture.We bonded over our shared faith and our struggles as mothers of kids with special needs.When I complimented(恭维)her cooking,she began to teach me about Korean food,eventually leading to a shared trip to explore the Korean grocery stores in our city.Because of Lydia,I learned more about my own hometown than I ever could have learned by myself.I’m still not sure that I’m any good as a teacher.But I’m grateful I said“yes”when my neighbor asked me to help her with her English.That meant spending extra time with my neighbor,and that extra time meant she didn’t remain just my neighbor.She became my friend.
