We do not have as much information about street theatre as we do about performances in playhouses, probably because there was very little of it. Performers without a patron were subject to imprisonment, and performers with a patron wanted to have a paying audience, thank you very much.

He didn't. He wasn't a carpenter. The carpenter that built the Globe theatre was Thomas Street. Street was employed by Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, the owners of The Theatre Playhouse in North London to tear it down and salvage what he could. Using the timbers Street built the Globe in Southwark for the Burbages and their minor partners (who included Shakespeare).
It didn't have a roof, it could be called an open-air theatre, yes.
The first Globe Theatre, the one built in 1599, and the other outdoor theatres of its time such as the Rose, Swan, Curtain and Fortune, was built of wood timbering with whitewashed plastering. The stage was wooden, under a large wooden canopy held up by two mighty pillars, each made of a single tree trunk. Some of these materials might be hard to find, if it were not for the fact that the Burbages, who were the main financiers behind the Globe, owned a theatre (called The Theatre) which they could not use because it was on rented land and the landlord refused to allow any theatre patrons onto the premises. The Burbages, or rather their contractor Peter Street, dismantled The Theatre when the Landlords were out of town and saved the larger beams (like the two pillars which held up the stage) so they could be reused when Street built the Globe.
Novello Theatre? I would get there for around 5 he could be later but by an hour maybe- but 5 is your best bet. Tavistock Street is where the stage door is (:
When it first opened the Globe Theatre could hold about 3,000 people.
The Back-drop - is a large moveable curtain, pained with a scene that is placed at the back of a theatre. For example, it could be a street scene with cars, people and buildings.
Yes, anyone could go who could afford the ticket price (one penny).

The Globe Theatre was not Globe-shaped (it would be a sphere if so), but it was called that probably because you could see representations of everything in the world there.
The main event on Main Street could be an event that is happening in many towns across the United States. There are several cities that have a street called Main Street. This is typically the street that runs through the main part of the city.
