It depended where the play was being performed. "The Tudor period" lasted for over a century, from 1485 to 1603, and during this century drama developed rapidly. However, it was not really until the 1570s that actors started making a profession of it. It was at this time that the first purpose-built theatre was built. Up to that point, plays were performed in noblemen's houses, public halls and in the courtyards of inns. The innyards were outdoors and lit by sunlight but the others were indoors and lit by candles. The first purpose-built theatres were modeled on innyards and were open to the sun and unfortunately also to the rain. If it rained, the groundlings got wet, although the actors and the audience sitting under the roof did not. There were fewer indoor theatres (the Blackfriars was one), but if the play was being performed in one of them, or in a palace, hall or nobleman's house, it didn't matter if it rained or not.
