Want this question answered?
the pit was the bottom of the theater(in the center of the theater) where the poor people would stand to watch the plays.
All of the people who bought one penny tickets to watch Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar at the Globe theatre stood up for the entire play.
They were called groundlings.
The cheapest place to watch a play in the Globe Theatre was actually the "Pit," which is where most people stood. The "Pit" was the area around the stage where people could just gather around. It cost only a penny to get in to see the play, and those who could afford it sat in covered seats, but those seats were more expensive.
About a penny, it was very cheap back then. Shakespeare did not inherit an English Theatre tradition, essentially he was establishing it. He considered his performances to be rehearsals for when the King would ask to see his plays. So every time he put on a production that was not in front of the Royal family, it was called a rehearsal.
Those were the "groundlings" or also known as the common people/ poor people. The commoners had to pay a penny to watch the play, which was often only an entire day's pay.

the king stood up, called for the lights to be turned on and ended the play
Answer Because they stood on the ground they were called "groundlings."
The Groundlings who stood too watch the play paid one penny; those who sat in the galleries paid three pence. Three to six pence was a day laborer's wage in most trades.

They were exposed to bad weather. The theater was dependent on the light of the sun, so there was no roof. **C. Peach**
