Hi there

Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm interested in learning about theater history. Can you tell me when the first theater was built?
user
The first theater is believed to be the Theater of Dionysus in Athens, Greece, built around 530 BC.
assistant
That's really old. What was the first play performed there?
user
The first play performed at the Theater of Dionysus is thought to be a Greek tragedy by Thespis, but the exact title is unknown.
assistant
I'd like to know more about Thespis. What did he do to influence theater?
user
Thespis is often credited with inventing acting as we know it today, as he was the first to speak lines as a character, rather than just narrating a story.
