Some people have suggested that they raised a flag when a performance was going to take place. Records from Henslowe's diary suggested that they performed six days a week in all weathers, closing only for the winter, so there would be no need of such a signal.

They would rise a banner or flag to show what they were performing on that day, like those TV screens outside of a movie theater.

they used a flag. A flag was raised on the day of the performance that sometimes showed a symbol or picture that indicated what play was being performed.

The actors walked out on the stage and started talking. Sometimes there was a flourish of trumpets or something like that but more often there wasn't.
