Teatro Do Ginásio
The Teatro do Ginásio (18451952) was a theatre in Lisbon, Portugal that mainly concentrated on performances of comedy shows. Construction The Teatro do Ginásio was constructed on the modern-day Rua Nova da Trindade in the Chiado district of the Portuguese capital of Lisbon. It originally consisted of a simple shed, lacking in amenities, built in the grounds of the former Palace of Geraldes. The shed, owned by João Manuel da Mota, presented circuses and the first performance was given on 12 October 1845. A few months later some limited remodelling was carried out in order to permit the space to offer traditional theatre. It reopened on 16 May 1846.

The actor's interpretation of a rolethe art of actingpertains to the role played, whether based on a real person or fictional character. This can also be considered an "actor's role," which was called this due to scrolls being used in the theaters. Interpretation occurs even when the actor is "playing themselves", as in some forms of experimental performance art. Formerly, in ancient Greece and the Middle Ages, medi ...

First Portuguese Republic
The First Portuguese Republic ( pt, Primeira República Portuguesa; officially: ''República Portuguesa'', Portuguese Republic) spans a complex 16-year period in the history of Portugal, between the end of the period of constitutional monarchy marked by the 5 October 1910 revolution and the 28 May 1926 ''coup d'état''. The latter movement instituted a military dictatorship known as ''Ditadura Nacional'' (national dictatorship) that would be followed by the corporatist '' Estado Novo'' (new state) regime of António de Oliveira Salazar. The sixteen years of the First Republic saw nine presidents and 44 ministries, and were altogether more of a transition between the Kingdom of Portugal and the Estado Novo than they were a coherent period of governance. Religion The First Republic was intensely anti-clerical. Historian Stanley Payne points out, "The majority of Republicans took the position that Catholicism was the number one enemy of individualist middle-class radicalism a ...
