	Theater - MSN Encarta
		Theater in India may have originated as early as the 3rd century bc and was influenced by the Hindu religion, the caste system, and literature in Sanskrit, the ancient language of India.
		When theaters were built, the auditorium was divided by four pillars painted white, red, yellow, and blue to indicate social castes, and spectators sat near the pillar that corresponded to their caste.
		In the permanent stone theaters, the stage house and the auditorium formed a single architectural unit, and the orchestra was a half circle between the stage and auditorium.

		At the Egyptian, restoration of the forecourt will involve the painted and paved surfaces, the colonnade of Egyptian-style columns which were removed when the portico was glassed in; the metal light fixtures; the ticket windows; and the storefronts of the retail structure.
		In the 1940s, the Egyptian style colonnade was stripped down to the four structural steel piers and the portico was glassed in, clearly indicating that there was a need for more lobby space than was originally provided.
		The "theater within a theater" consists of a large, metal armature which is attached to the floor and to the inner walls of the stagehouse, but does not come in contact with the decorative plaster side walls of the auditorium.

	Column / April 2003 / Theater
		Theater can serve many purposes: to be entertained, to provide new insight and understanding about personal life, or even the examination of political and social issues.
		Throughout history theater has often reflected the society in which it takes place, giving people the opportunity to step back from what is going on in real life and look at the issue from a more distant perspective.
		The audience for theater assembles as a group at a given time and place to share in the performance with the actors and all the surrounding elements of light, sound, music, costumes, and scenery.

	Bringing Hollywood's Egyptian Theater back to life
		Grauman originally envisioned the theater as a Moorish palace, but the theme switched to an Egyptian one shortly after the discovery of King Tut's tomb-ostensibly to take advantage of the public's interest in the Egyptian discoveries.
		The theater underwent a renovation in the late 1950s and continued as a first-run theater until 1992 when economics and the decline of Hollywood Boulevard into a collection of curio shops, vacant storefronts, and transients brought it to a close.
		With the Egyptian theater's restoration scheduled for completion later this year, the American Cinematheque organization is planning a typical Hollywood opening, including the showing of Cecil B. DeMille's acclaimed silent film version of The Ten Commandments, which originally premiered at the theater in 1923.

	Ancient Egyptian theatre
		The Greeks may have believed that they were the inventors of theatre, but apparently the Egyptians, while they did not construct special venues for their plays, preceded them in the performance of shows, which were mostly pageant-like, religious in character, ritualistic and to a large extent devoid of drama.
		The festivities were divided into three parts: the defense of Osiris by his son Upuaut, the fight of Osiris himself and his demise, and lastly the triumph of Osiris when his enemies are defeated.
		Then there comes to be a hard fight with staves, and they break one another's heads, and I am of opinion that many even die of the wounds they receive; the Egyptians however told me that no one died.
