You could also discuss how the different time periods influenced your understanding and appreciation of theater as an art form.

Can you please help me? I'm sorry this is so long but I have to explain everything, I have to do a Theatre Timeline: Greeks/Classics to Germans/Romanticism
I have to create a timeline starting with Classical Greece and ending with Romanticism of the late 1800's.
I have to highlight a minimum of 2 important dates per time period (Greeks, Romans, Medieval, Asian Theatre (China & Japan), Shakespeare/Renaissance, and the Romantics/Restoration); this is a minimum of 14 total dates. Dates should reflect pivotal moments in the history of theater such as festivals, playwrights, plays, historical events (wars, etc.) and/or anything else that has impacted the theater over time.
Timelines should include:
1. Minimum of 2 important dates per theatrical time period (14 total)
2. A minimum of 1 picture for each date that is reflective of that date, Im not sure if you can help me with the pictures
3. A brief explanation of each date (3-5 complete sentences) that highlight why the date chosen was important to the history of theater
4. A brief personal summary explaining what I have learned and why I chose the dates (approximately 1/2 to 1 page double spaced)
Timeline should be well organized and visually appealing. The more creative the better. I hope you can help me. Thank you.
