The Globe Theatre had wooden benches to sit on. You could get a cushion if you were prepared to pay. In Shakespeare's day, the plays went on for two or three hours without intermission, so I imagine your bum might get sore by the end.
not all secenes or acts end with the actors leaving the stage. sometimes the curtain closes with them in still poses on the stage. but the actors exit the stage to let the audience know that that is the end of the scene or act. also, there might be scene changes, so if the actors exit, it provides the perfect opportunity for the curtain to close and tech come out to change sets.
I believe you're thinking of The Globe Theatre, also known as 'Shakespeare's Globe' http://www.shakespeares-globe.org There were several theatres in London during Shakespeare's time. Although very few facts are actually known about Shakespeare, it was known that he was a shareholder in the original Globe Theatre at the end of the 16th Century. The reconstruction of The Globe is itself based on sketchy facts about the appearance and construction of the original, and is considered to be a 'best guess', built about 250 yards away from the original site. It is however, an excellent theatre, and well worth a visit.
