When I visited the reconstruction of the Globe Theatre in London, I was told that they are referred to as Groundlings.
I have also heard that the actors sometimes referred to them as 'Penny Stinkards', but I can't give a good source to confirm this.

Was it quiet in the Globe Theatre?
The Globe theatre would have been very noisy. Most of the patrons stood in an area in front of the stage, smoking and talking were commonplace, and women would move around the audience selling snackfood (or other things).We have a contemporary play which satirises the rowdiness of a contemporary audience. In Thomas Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday two 'members of the audience' come onto the stage and take over the play.That must have been a constant worry for Elizabethan dramatists.
