In Shakespeare's day, they had indoor and outdoor theatres. The outdoor theatres were built to accomodate a lot of people and to make use of natural sunlight. They were like performances given nowadays by rock or pop bands in ball parks. However they had no amplification, so the actors had to have huge voices. And although a theatre like the Globe could accomodate up to 3000 people, it had only one door, to prevent people from getting in without paying. You'd think that would pose a problem if the theatre caught fire, but actually it didn't. When the Globe burned down on June 29, 1613 during a performance of Henry VIII, nobody was injured; they got out of that one door without panicking. During the performance people went around selling nuts, fruit and beer (and others went around picking people's pockets), but despite all that beer being sold, there were no washrooms.
