Those measures which appeared to4 the desired results were then kept and repeated until they changed into5 rituals. ‎ ‎6 stories arose which explained or masked the mysteries of the rituals. As times passed, some rituals were7 , but the stories, later called myths, continued to exist and provided material for art and drama. ‎ Those who believed that drama evolved out of ritual also argue that those rituals contained the8 of theatre because music, dance, masks, and9 were almost always used. 10 , a suitable site had to be provided for performances and11 the entire community did not participate , a(n)12 division was usually made between the ＂area of acting and theatre in which an audience sits ＂.

Eventually such dramatic representatives were separated from17 activities. ‎ Another theory traces the theater’s origin from the human interest in18 . According to this view, tales about the hunt, war or other things are told and gradually spread. 19 through the use of action and dialogue by a narrator and then through the assumption of each of the roles by a different person.
