skene building
A three-dimensional structure or building at the front of an ancient Greek theatre providing a background to the performance; a stage building. Also more fully skene building. Cf. scene n. 1.The skene appears to have originated as a wooden hut in which performers could change masks and in front of which the performance took place. It later developed into a permanent stone structure, often consisting of two storeys decorated with stone columns, and with one or more doors used for entrances and exits.
