Ancient theatre had a maximum of three male actors and a chorus, whereas modern theatre has as many actors of whichever gender necessary. Ancient theatre had minimal props and special effects, whereas modern theatre has extremely advanced and detailed props and special effects. Ancient plays were divided into prologues, parados, episodes, stasimons, and exodus, whereas modern plays simply have scenes and acts.
