This theater is where Paul defended himself before Festus and King Agrippa in Acts 25-26.
It sits in Caesarea, just off the Mediterranean sea. Caesarea was a city built by Herod for retired Roman soldiers (there are others throughout the country, like Caesarea Philippi- where Peter declares Jesus to be the Messiah in Matthew 16).
Standing down near the stage, hearing the waves of the sea pounding from behind, you can imagine what it was like for Paul to argue his case in front some of the most powerful rulers of his day. It is here Paul said to Festus, "I have not done any wrong against the Jewish law or against the temple or against Caesar.... I appeal to Caesar!"
And then later, to King Agrippa, "Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?"
