Some companies would also perform in temporary venues or at court and other private events. The landscape of theatrical performance was diverse, with various arrangements for staging plays.

They didn't show up at the theatre. And of course the Globe was only one of several theatres operating in London at that time; there were theatre patrons who chose to watch actors from companies other than the Chamberlain's/King's Men, such as the Admiral's or Worcester's or for a time, the Children of Paul's or the Chapel.
