The original Globe Theatre had no electricity laid on. All the lighting was natural sunlight. All modern theatres have provision for a huge number of electric lights. Also, there were no bathrooms for the audience at the original Globe. Thankfully that has been changed in all modern theatres.

In a modern theatre the audience sits opposite to the stage. In the globe the audience sits (partly) around the stage, in the manner of the ancient Greek theatres.

Shakespeare contributed to the financing of the Globe Theatre but the backers got other people to build it. Its design resembled earlier theatres such as The Theatre, The Rose and The Curtain.

Why was the wooden o closed for a few years?
"The Wooden O" is not the name of a specific theatre. It's like asking whether the "restaurant with a kitchen" is closed. In point of fact all outdoor theatres in Shakespeare's day were made of wood, and most of them (following the successful design of James Burbage's "Theatre") were shaped like the letter O. This includes the Theatre, Curtain, Rose, Globe, Swan, and Hope theatres. The theatre in which Henry V was first performed was very possibly the Curtain, which would have been the first theatre described as "this wooden O". Occasionally all the theatres in London were closed as a health measure when there was an outbreak of plague, but these closures rarely lasted more than a couple of months. However, in the years 1592-1594 there was a long closure lasting more than a year which drove a number of the theatre companies into bankruptcy. The O-shaped theatres which were standing at that time were the Theatre, Curtain and Rose. Of course all theatres were closed in 1642 when the government banned theatrical performance. The O-shaped theatres left standing at that time were the second Globe and the Hope, both of which were subsequently demolished.
What do they use Shakespeare's theatres used for in our days?
No theatres from Shakespeare's time are in use today. They were all taken down before the 17th century was out. The Red Bull Theatre (which had nothing to do with Shakespeare) was probably the last to go.
