Commercial theatre

Explanation:

In some cases, and according to several authors and scholars, the commercial theatre is so appealing to keep the audience of some groups that it doesn't have an identity. It's a theater devoted exclusively to entertainment, to make you laugh or cry, but superficially and that does not bring in its ideals, in its goals, what was important to the Greeks, social welfare.
