Banner flying at the theatre in Elizabethan times referred to the practice of flying flags or banners above the theatre's roof to indicate that a play was being performed that day. The flags would have different colors or designs to represent the type of play, such as a tragedy or comedy. It served as a visual advertisement to attract audiences passing by and inform them of the performances happening inside.

When did Shakespeare's theatre start?

It depends what you mean by "Shakespeare's theatre". Do you mean the theatre which was built in 1996 and is called Shakespeare's Globe Theatre? Or do you mean the theatre company which he joined, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, which was founded in 1594? Or do you mean the tradition of Elizabethan theatre of which Shakespeare was a part, which started in about 1560? It could be any one.

Is the Elizabethan theater also the globe theater?

No, the terms are not synonymous. In the phrase "Elizabethan theatre" the word "theatre" does not always imply a building, but more often the style, customs, practises, plays, playwrights and actors which defined the theatre community in London during the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603). It can also mean a building built during that period specifically as a venue for play performance--what was at that time called a playhouse. The Globe Theatre was only one (although the most famous one) of these Elizabethan playhouses. Others included the Rose, the Swan, the Curtain, the Fortune and the Red Bull.
