Skene
Proskene
Orchestra
is a raised platform in front of the skene, on which the actors perform.
This was a covered structure, originally a temporary wooden building, where the actors stored their masks and costumes and performed quick changes out of the sight of the audience.
Altar/Thymeli
The core of any Greek theater is the orchestra, the “dancing place” of the chorus and the chief performance space.
An altar of Dionysus was usually located in the center of the orchestra.

Epidarus theater
is a term used in the theater of ancient Greece, referring either to a side-entrance, or to the first song sung by the chorus after its entrance from the side wings.
The audience sat in the theatron, the “seeing place,” on semi-circular terraced rows of benches (in the earliest theaters these were wooden; they were later built of stone).
