It depends where they were coming from and which theatre you are talking about, because Shakespeare had shares in more than one, and performed in many more than he had an interest in. The large public theatres were built in the suburbs, not in the City of London itself, and the suburbs both to the North and to the South were areas where, because the laws were more lax, houses of prostitution, arenas for blood sports, taverns and other unsavoury places were located. But Shakespeare also had an interest in the Blackfriars theatre which was an indoor theatre located right in the city just south and west of St. Paul's. If you came there from St. Paul's you would pass many bookshops and printers. If you came there from the south you would be coming from the River and the fish markets of Queenhithe.

When people used to go and watch perfomances in the Globe, the wealthy, or as you would say "the posh people" would sit on the seats in the theatre.
The only thing controversial about the Globe Theatre or about Shakespeare for that matter is that the Earl of Essex, prior to his attempted coup d'etat in 1601, commissioned a performance of Shakespeare's play Richard II to be performed at the Globe by the Lord Chamberlain's Men. Essex thought it would encourage people to support his coup. It didn't.
Rich people would pay the expenses of writers or artists. They were the patrons of the arts.
The plays at the globe started around 2 o'clock. Villagers would have dinner and a pint of ale then would go, if the flag was flying. If it wasn't it meant the play was cancelled due to bad weather as the theatre had no roof.
I think the the rich people sat up in the top of the melodrama theatre where the view would be the best.

The theatre would run a flag up the flagpole if there was a play toward.
I would expect that stone age people spent most daylight hours hunting for food, and had no time for leisure activities.
Because the front part of the stage, the proscenium, would 'thrust' out from the stage proper and into the audience space.

Yes, you would get soaked.
people wanted to be entertained and theatre in the middle ages was a bot like T.V but they didn't have electricity at that time, people would go to theatre and watch people entertain them and act.
Many of the more affluent or influential people would have a private box.
