<|im_start|>user
I'm interested in learning about theater history. Can you tell me when the first theater was built?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The first theater is believed to be the Theater of Dionysus in Athens, Greece, built around 530 BC.<|im_end|>

That's really old. What was the first play performed there?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
The first play performed at the Theater of Dionysus is thought to be a Greek tragedy by Thespis, but the exact title is unknown.<|im_end|>

I'd like to know more about Thespis. What did he do to influence theater?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
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.<|im_end|>
