What was used to keep order in the globe theatre back then?

First 10 plays of the Globe Theatre?
It is impossible to tell. They did not, unfortunately, keep a record of what plays they put on. It is very likely that at least one play by someone other than Shakespeare is among them. Julius Caesar, which we know was performed around this time, is probably on the list.
What is the name of the theater that many of Shakespeares plays were first performed?
After Shakespeare joined the Lord Chamberlain's Men in 1594, his plays were only presented at five theatres between that time and 1642 when the theatres were closed. These were The Theatre (to 1597), the Curtain (1597-1599), the First Globe (1599-1613), the Second Globe (1614-1642) and the Blackfriars (1608-1642). Prior to 1594 we know that Henry VI and Titus Andronicus werre performed at The Rose because of the extensive records kept by its owner Philip Henslowe. Others of Shakespeare's early plays may have been performed at other early theatres around London for which we have no record. The theatre called Shakespeare's Globe in London is a replica of the first Globe. The theatre set built for the film Shakespeare in Love is an attempt at a replica of the Rose. There is a theatre built at the Folger museum, Washington D.C. in the Elizabethan style but not intended to be a replica of any particular building; it is an indoor theatre and so might approximate the experience of being at the Blackfriars.
What are facts about the support pillars in the globe shakespeare theatre?
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, which opened in 1997, is a replica of the Globe Theatre which was built in 1599. Two giant pillars support the roof over the stage. The pillars are 24 feet high and are each built (as is the crossbeam they support) from the trunk of a single oak tree. The centre of the pillars have been hollowed out using a hand auger. The capitals have been carved with acanthus leaves to resemble Corinthian Capitals, and are gilded so they look like solid gold. The pillars themselves are painted to look as if they are made of marble. They were lifted into the theatre by crane after the walls were constructed, since the centre of the theatre is open air.
Why did the globe theatre have a roof over the stage?
There were a couple of reasons. For one thing, it would keep the actors' costumes and the stage props dry if it rained during a performance. For another, it enabled them to have a god or angel fly down from the "heavens" by lowering the actor on a rope. Shapespeare actually made use of this device in the play Cymbeline. They could also make a thunder sound effect by rolling cannonballs around on the roof of the heavens.
Did the audience have to keep quiet in the globe theatre?
Nope, and they could get pretty rowdy, especially if they didn't like the play.

Why do we know so little about the globe theatre?
The original Globe, the one Shakespeare performed in, burned to the ground in 1613. A second one was built to the same style the next year and was torn down in 1644 or so. Strangely enough, nobody took photographs of it on their iPhones. The only way we could know what it looked like is from drawings. And what do we have for drawings? Two tiny drawings of the exterior on general panoramas of London at the time, one of which depicts the second Globe, and a drawing of the interior of the Swan Theatre which we hope looked something like the Globe. Nobody wrote a description of what the theatre was like. Fortunately we got a break when the foundations of the theatre were found under another building (alas, it is also of historical interest and cannot be pulled down) which was enough to estimate with some accuracy its size and the number of sides it had (twenty). From this and from the foundations of the Rose Theatre, which have been more completely excavated, scholars know how the floor and foundations were constructed. And Peter Street, the builder who built the Globe, kept records of how he built the Fortune Theatre shortly afterwards so we can guess how the frame was built and covered with "hair and lime". From all of these sources, the Shakespeare's Globe which was built in 1997 is a pretty accurate replica of the first Globe. What about the business end of the theatre? Well, we know who the "sharers" were who owned a piece of the theatre. We know what seats cost to the audience. Unfortunately we do not have records for the Globe like Henslowe's diary, which lists the plays performed at the Rose over many years, with the amounts received at the box office in every case. These records must have perished in the Globe fire of 1613. It was fortunate for the company that they kept a duplicate stock of scripts at their second theatre, the Blackfriars, but they did not appear to keep duplicate books. If they did, they have long disappeared. All in all, for a building which has been gone for 400 years, we know more than you might expect.
In the 1600s what were the rules for the Globe theatre and was there any audience control?
Yes they had special guards that would keep an eye on the audience. Somethimes they would even have toresort to tourture. Yes they had special guards that would keep an eye on the audience. Somethimes they would even have toresort to tourture.
Why was the globe theatre popular in Shakespeare's time?
It became the main home to the most popular theatrical company, containing the best actors, and playing the best plays in all of London. As compared to the same company's other theatre, it was cheaper and could hold more people.

Why didn't the PGA officials keep it simple and just say all area behind the spectators is a hazard?
The players were told, any area with sand in it was a bunker. Johnson admitted he never read the rules sheet and it cost him. The officials should have been more concerned with keeping spectators out of the bunkers.

What was the globe theatre that shakespeare built like?
Shakespeare didn't build it. He worked in it and contributed a portion of the building costs but he did not build it. The owners were Richard and Cuthbert Burbage and the builder was Peter Street. Apart from investing some money in the project, Shakespeare had nothing to do with the construction.The creators of the new Globe (Shakespeare's Globe Theatre which opened in 1996) did extensive research in order to create as near an exact replica of the original 1599 Globe as the scarcity of data and the intrusiveness of modern fire codes would permit. The building had twelve sides arranged in a circle with a space in the centre, eleven of which were two-story sections, roofed with thatch, which housed seating for the audiences. Access to the upper story was by way of staircase towers built outside of the theatre. The space in the middle was unroofed and was build to drain rain water to a central point and thence away by means of an underground pipe. The twelfth side contained the tiring house (dressing rooms and costume repair) as well as prop and script storage and green rooms. It gave out onto the stage which jutted out from the twelfth wall into the open space in the centre of the theatre. It was roofed with a massive roof supported by two huge pillars. The roof could be accessed from the tiring house wall and contained a trap door so that actors could be lowered from it on a rope. There was a trap door in the stage as well, which could be accessed from the tiring house by tunnels under the stage. The wall of the tiring house had entrances right and left to the stage with a curtained recess or "concealment space" between them. On the second story of the tiring house was a shallow balcony over the stage. There were no toilet facilities in the original Globe, and concessions consisted of young women moving about the crowd selling nuts, beer and oranges. There was only one exit in the original Globe, the better to keep out people who wanted to sneak in without paying, but fire regulations required that the modern Globe have more exits. Notwithstanding having only one exit, nobody was injured when the original Globe caught fire during a performance and the entire audience (probably over 1000 people) had to leave by that one door. One man's clothes caught fire, but a quick-thinking person nearby doused it with a glass of beer.I recommend that you Google images of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre to get an idea of what it looked like.
