What did the area under the stage symbolise when actors shouted from underneath it?
Actually, this was the "prompter", usually in a little bubble at the front of the stage, positioned so that the audience could not see their face ... if an actor missed a queue, the prompter would whisper the next line to the actor on stage. Prompters are no longer used as far as we know ... except maybe from the stage sides.
What did an audience throw at the actors who performed badly?
Unpopular productions in Shakespeare's day could be shouted off the stage and the actors pelted with vegetables or whatever else was at hand.
Who made the sound effects for Shakespeare's performances?
They were made by the actors themselves or by off-stage hands.
Why in Shakespeare's days may you see the words players exit?
Shakespeare wrote plays. And when you write plays you include directions to the actors. When to get off the stage is one such direction.
What kind of stage did shakespeare use in romeo and Juliet?
The word "stage direction" in theatre means a note in the text which tells the actors what to do, rather than what to say.

What were some of the shakespearian actors called?
Your question is vague. Do you mean by "shakespearian actors" actors who have acted on stage in Shakespeare's plays, or do you mean actors who acted on the same stage as William Shakespeare, or do you mean actors who were alive when Shakespeare was? And are you asking for their names (Richard Burbage, David Garrick, Edmund Kean, Sir Henry Irving, Kenneth Branagh are actors who played Shakespeare; Richard Burbage, Will Kempe, Augustine Phillips and Nathan Field were actors who acted with Shakespeare; Richard Burbage, Edward Alleyn and Richard Tarleton were actors when Shakespeare was alive)? Or perhaps you want to know what people called them ("no-good lazy bums" no doubt).

What was the content in William Shakespeare's plays?
Like all plays, they contain dialogue for the actors to say, and stage directions.
Who made the sound effects for the plays in Shakespeare's time?
The musicians, actors who were offstage at the time, or stage hands, depending on the effect.
What was the role of women in the theatre in Shakespeare's time?
Women were not allowed on stage in Shakespeare's day. Female characters were played by prepubescent boy actors whose voices had not been deepened by testosterone.
How are todays actors or celebrities similar to the actors of Shakespeare's time How are they different?
The actors were not all that different, but the actresses were. That's because there weren't any actresses in England in Shakespeare's day. On the continent, women appeared on stage, but not in England, where such a thing would be considered a show of public lewdness. Actresses did not perform in England until almost fifty years after Shakespeare's death.
Who describes the setting of Romeo and Juliet?
The chorus does. In Greek drama that is a group of actors who come on stage and set the scene, but in Shakespeare it is one person.
