In the Elizabethan times, at the Globe Theatre, a black flag over a playhouse meant a tragedy.
plays at the globe theatre were normally staged at 2 o clock, if the flag was flying. if it wasn't flying, the play had been called off due to bad weather as the theatre didn't have a roof. :)
How many times did the Globe Theatre burn down? Twice

Only one, the first Globe which was built in 1599. It existed in Elizabethan times for only four years, until Elizabeth died in 1603.
Elizabethan theater involved several theater companies of actors and playwrights. In London the globe theater was in use and Shakespeare was performing his works. There were no female actresses during Elizabethan times, instead young teenage boys would play female roles.
The Curtain, the Fortune, the Rose, the Red Bull, Blackfriars, Whitefriars, the Cockpit, and others were playhouses in Elizabethan and Jacobean times.
I'm assuming you mean when a play was about to be performed in the Globe theatre or one of the other Elizabethan theatre during Shakespearean times. If so, then people knew that a play was about to begin because a trumpet would be sounded.

Which Globe Theatre are you talking about? We know it was performed at least once at the first Globe in London, in April of 1610.
the globe theater was lighted by daylight or some times torches
