yes there were trap doors and pully systems :)
No
Lighting and special effects wouldn't have been an option for the cast at the Globe Theatre. A basic set, costumes and props is all the cast would have had to perform Shakespeare's works. The actor's skill alone would have to transform the bland stage in the middle of the day, into a scene that could take place at night, etc. This is precisely the reason for the eloquent speech and descriptions of the settings in the dialogues, monologues, and soliloquys in Shakespeare's plays.
The stage is used for the actors to walk on while they are acting, in the Globe and any other theatre that ever existed.
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.
We don't know much about the internal design of the Globe Theatre: the internal arrangement of the modern Globe in London is copied from an illustration of the Swan theatre (roughly contemporary with the Globe). Since we know very little about the internal design of any Sixteenth Century London theatre (except the Swan) - your question is really unanswerable.

Yes, there was sunlight. That's why they put on polays in the afternoon.
Shakespeare was part owner of two theatres, The Globe Theatre and The Blackfriars. He called the Globe Theatre the Wooden "O" in his play Henry V because it was built almost circular with an open courtyard in the middle. The Blackfriars was an indoor theatre, designed very much like theatres today with a thrust stage and seating both on the floor and in galleries.The Globe Theater.
No, there weren't any toilets in the Globe theatre at all. The audience would go for a number one or two on the floor. Ewwwww...
The first Globe Theatre was built with materials and timber taken from the first 'Theatre' in 1599 when William Shakespeare and the Chamberlain's men were forced to leave because the Puritan owner, Giles Allen, refused to re-new the lease. It only took six months to build. Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, who had owned the Theatre were the majority owners of the Globe. The first Globe burned down in 1613 but a second Globe was rebuilt on the same spot and was ready for use in 1614. It was torn down in 1644 to make way for housing. Shakespeare's Globe, a modern replica of the first Globe, was built in 1997.
yes they all died man it was so sad i was in it
the theatre closed in 1642. The Theatre was closed down by the Puritans as were all theatres a religious group of the time who were a bit extremist are such activities were not accepted, social activities were not allowed.
