It was only men that were allowed to act in Shakespeare's time, and only his company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, was allowed to present there.
No.they were considered unseemly
Women Sexist country :(
The Globe theater was the most popular theater of its time. It was built in 1597 and men were the only ones allowed to act in plays during that time. Men even portrayed female characters.
Women were not allowed to act in plays. That doesn't necessarily mean that they were "banned from the stage", however, as wealthy people sometimes watched the play from the stage.
No, not unless you count Shakespeare's Globe Theatre which was built in 1997. Women in England did not act on stage until 1660. The first Globe burned down in 1613 and the second one was torn down in 1644.

Women were not used in his plays because in the times he was from it was a womans job to be a preformer so women were not allowed to act so he wrote his plays around that fact.
the globe theatre reopened around 1614. The first globe theatre was burnt down because of a firs that was caused during a presentation of Henry VIII. During Act One, a cannon fired material which ignited with the Globe's roof. The whole building was burnt down within hours.
Only men could perform at the globe theater in Shakespeare's time, it was considered improper for a lady to act. hope i answered your question =]
Not just the Globe Theatre but any theatre. I think its to do with acting being thought as a disreputable enterprise and not the kind of thing women should get involved in.
The Globe Theatre, because Shakespeare did act in it, along with other theatres. It was one of two theatres which he owned a share in. He also was a part owner of the Blackfriars Theatre and he acted in it as well, but not for as long as the Globe.
