The ruined theater under the acropolis in which Euripides and other playwrights performed their work for over 2000 years will be restored over a period of 6 years. The 9 million dollar program will be complete in 2015 and will include the modern additions to the surviving stone seats in the theater of Dionysus. The theater first saw action in the 6th century BC and witnessed plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides, as well as Aristophanes.
