In Elizabethan theatres, poor people typically sat in the pit or yard, which was the area directly in front of the stage. This space was less expensive, allowing the lower classes to attend performances for a small fee. The seating was often standing room only, and those in the pit were known for their lively participation and vocal reactions during the plays. Wealthier patrons, in contrast, sat in the more comfortable seats in the galleries.

How come White people and Black people can sit together on a bus now?

Because one day a lady named Rosa Parks got on a bus and thought it was unfair to sit in the back. She thought Black people and White people SHOULD be able to sit anywhere and by anyone! So she sat in the front with the White people. She did get in trouble but now Black and White people could sit anywhere on a bus and sit next to anyone!

Where did people sit in the colosseum?

The Colosseum was an amphitheatre. Unlike Greek and Roman theatres which were semicircular, the amphitheatres were round (forming a full circles) or, more commonly, oval arenas. The seating surrounded the central arena. Therefore, people sat all around it. The Colosseum could accommodate 50,000 spectators. The spectators, though, could not just go in and sit where ever they chose. Seating was strictly allotted by class. There were sections for the senators, the Vestal virgins, the equites and the male citizens. The women had their own sections, as did the imperial family and guests.

WHAT HORROR film made theatres suggest that patrons prone to motion sickness sit in the aisle seats?

The Blair Witch Project (1999). The motion of the hand-held cameras that were used made many people throw up, so many movie theatres suggested that people with weak stomachs sit in the aisles and "try not to throw up on people." See the Related Link below for the imdb trivia page about the film.Something similar happened with the Exorcist (1973): many people got so scared that they fainted, and paramedics had to be called. As far as I know, though, no theatres ever recommended that suggestible patrons sit in the aisle seats.

Where did the audience sit to watch performances in an Elizabethan theater?

Theatres like the Globe and the Rose had a thrust stage with a ring of covered seats, a set of ground floor seats and one or two balconies. These contained wooden benches on which audience members could sit. Some particularly favoured members of the audience were allowed to sit on the stage in chairs. The "groundlings", who filled the space inside the ring of seats, did not sit at all but stood through the performance.


What was the first theater called and why was it torn down?

We don't know which Greek architect decided to improve on the natural structure of a hillside to carve benches into the sides of the hills for people to sit. This was the first theatre. Later Greeks and Romans built many such theatres (called amphitheatres), many of which still stand. The first theatre in Elizabethan England was called the Red Lion and it was built in 1567. It was a commercial failure and was adapted to be farm buildings. The Theatre, built in 1576, was the first successful Elizabethan theatre. It was torn down because it was built on rented land and the landlord refused to renew the lease.
