	Women actors sometimes act the roles of young boys, because in some ways a woman is more similar to a boy than a man is. For example, a woman usually plays the role of [[Peter Pan]]. In pantomime, a sort of play for children (not the same as [[mime]]), the most important young man is also a woman. [[Opera]] has some "pants roles" which women traditionally sing. These women are usually [[mezzo-soprano]]s, which means they sing with a voice that is high but not very high. Examples are Hansel in ''Hänsel and Gretel'', and Cherubino in ''[[The Marriage of Figaro]]''.

+An '''actor''' is a person who [[act]]s, or has a role (a part) in a [[movie]], [[television]] show, [[Play (theatre)|play]], or [[radio]] show. Actors may be professional or not. Sometimes actors only sing or dance, or sometimes they only work on radio. A woman actor is '''actress''', but the word "actor" is used for both men and women when referring to a group. Actors are also known as [[‘thespians’]] because of the first known Greek actor [[‘Thespis’]].

+The first time we know an actor worked was in 534 B.C.  The changes in [[calendar]] between then and now make the year uncertain.  This actor was called [[Thespis]] and he was [[Greece|Greek]].  The place where the play happened was called the ''Theatre Dionysus'' in Athens, and he won a competition. He was the first person to speak words as a character.  This was a big change in [[story]]telling. Before then, people sang and danced stories, but no one had been a person in the story. Today we call actors "thespians" because of Thespis.
