When the Globe first opened for business standing places were 1d (one penny) and seats started from about 4d (four pence). Since a typical day's wage for a semi-skilled labourer was between 2d and 4d at the time, going to the theatre was expensive but affordable for ordinary working people. Towards the end of Shakespeare's working life his company (the Kings Men) opened a second theatre - the Blackfriars. At the Blackfriars ordinary seats started at 6d - which was really out of the reach of a working class audience.
The Globe Theatre was not enclosed, as there were no interior bean sources. All performances took place during daylight hours. Scenery was limited and mostly suggestive. Much of the audience had to stand.
Nice big colorful spot lights. Actresses. Comfortable seating in the audience. Teenagers did not screw around there. No roof. No weather refunds. No parking lots. No popcorn. No Soda. No Twizzlers. No washrooms.
Black and White!
The Queen often visited the theatre and only those who paid money to get in.
He had to establish with the audience the time of day. The plays were always performed in constant lighting in Shakespeare's day, so the stage looked the same whether it was noon or midnight. This was true whether they were performing outdoors at an outdoor theatre like the Globe or indoors at the Blackfriars, at court or at a private house. Therefore the audience would not know if it was night or day unless one of the characters told them so.

the typical day of a secratary is very challenging..
In Shakespeare's time, a black flag flying above the theatre indicated that a tragedy was being performed that day. It was a signal to the audience about the type of play they would be watching.

There's no such thing as "typical day". That is why is so much fun.
Anything but typical.
The difference between modern day theatre and ancient Greek theater is that in ancient Greece only boys could act in the shows. The stages were tilted instead of the chairs for the audience and they used big two sided masks made of rock.
