We have some indications that mummers entertained people in the Early Middle Ages with mimes and processions. The subjects for these were largely derived from pagan practice and mixed with Christian ideas.
We have better records from later in the Middle Ages. Performances were put on in Churches, with mystery plays, morality plays, and miracle plays. These were based on biblical subjects or themes.
Secular plays started to be produced at about the time of the crusades. We have manuscripts of a secular comedy called Babio, from England of the twelfth century.
A new genre called manners plays arose in the last couple centuries of the Middle Ages, dealing with subjects ranging from romance and drama to comedy.
Plays were often set to music, and Adam de la Halle's Jeu de Robin et Marion, which dates from about the year 1200, is possibly the most famous of these. It is the story of an encounter between a knight and a shepherdess, Marion, in which she resists the knight's advances, and the subsequent relationship she had with her lover, Robin. The play is has a number of songs in it, which are representative of popular music of the time.
As to the places where theatrical events happened, I have never seen any record of theater buildings in medieval Europe. I have not read much about the Byzantine Empire in this respect, and would not be surprised to read of theater buildings there, but in the West, productions usually happened outdoors. One common way to put on a production was to have it in a place where a hillside was conveniently well shaped for an audience to sit and watch. But more commonly, the stage was a platform on the top of a large wagon. In some places, plays with acceptable subjects related to morality or Bible stories could be put on inside a Church. Courtyards were also used, or town squares.

One example of miracle plays in the origin of English drama is the "Chester Mystery Plays," which were performed in medieval times to depict biblical stories and miracles. These plays were often staged outdoors in cycles to educate and entertain audiences about religious themes. Miracle plays became popular during the Middle Ages and were an important precursor to modern English drama.
