Elizabethan acting companies were typically organized into groups of professional actors who operated under the patronage of a nobleman or a wealthy individual. These companies were often structured with a clear hierarchy, including a leading actor (the "star"), supporting actors, and apprentices. They performed in various venues, including public theaters like The Globe and private playhouses, and were responsible for their own costumes and props. The companies would frequently tour to reach wider audiences, adapting their performances to suit different locations.
