South Theatre, Jerash
Returning to the south end of the site, this photo looks north from the cavea of the South Theatre to the classical three entrances of its Scenae Frons. The use of these entrances will be familiar even to modern-day audiences who have seen the popular Broadway musical, "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum," which was loosely based on the Old Roman comedy of Plautus. Jerash's South Theatre was built during the reign of Domitian, c. 90 AD, and held over 3,000 spectators.
