groundlings are the ones not sitting in overhangs or balconies but on the floor
Pit
The audience members who stood at the front of the stage during a performance were often referred to as the "groundlings." This term was commonly used in the context of Elizabethan theatres, such as the Globe Theatre, where groundlings paid a lower price to stand in the pit area and watch the play. Their proximity to the stage allowed for a more interactive and engaging experience with the performers.
The lower classes of observers stood in the theatre pit. They paid 1 penny as an entrance fee, and because they stood in the lowest area, were called groundlings. A less favorable name that they were called was Stinkards.
When I visited the reconstruction of the Globe theatre in London, I was told that they are referred to as Groundlings. I have also heard that the actors sometimes referred to them as 'Penny Stinkards', but I can't give a good source to confirm this.
"Groundlings" is the name given to people who bought the one-penny standing room tickets at the big public theatres. They are called that because they stood on the ground.
The plays were performed by actors, which is to say by men, not women.
