The pit or yard was open to the sky so that the stage could catch the sunlight during the afternoon performances. The galleries, the Tiring House, and the rear half of the stage was roofed. The pillars holding up the roof, and perhaps part of the stage façade, were painted to resemble marble, at least in the rebuilt, enlarged, new and improved Globe of 1614. It was apparently common practice to do so. The Swan, an older playhouse than The Globe, was also painted to give the illusion of marble. Some theaters had a large tapestry called an arras hanging between the entrance doors on either side of the stage. The floor of the yard or pit was paved with cobblestone or brick, with a bed of nutshells for drainage. While the play was going on, vendors sold concessions in the gallery (stands) and in the pit/yard, the way they do at Baseball games today. Instead of Hot Dogs and peanuts, they sold hazelnuts, apples, Oranges; and instead of soft drinks they sold water by the dipper from a bucket, ale, and wine. Meals or banquets may have been served in the Lords Rooms, on either side of the stage, the way a buffet is set up in today's skyboxes.
What else can I help you with?
What the globe theatre looked like?
The outside of the original Globe Theatre looked very much like Sam Wanamaker's modern Globe theatre in Southwark. We don't know what the original Globe looked like inside. (The inside of the modern Globe is copied from some drawings we have of the inside of the Star - a slightly less famous Jacobean theatre).
What was the atmosphere like inside The Globe Theatre Shakespeare played in?
The atmosphere inside the Globe Theatre was very like the atmosphere outside the theatre on account of it had no roof. The main difference that the 3000 people inside it made were that it was somewhat hotter and much smellier (these people often had not bathed for months)
How does the de3sign of the globe theatre compare with other designs in the London area?
We know very little of the design of the Globe theatre, in fact no-one knows what the inside looked like at all. The inside of the modern Globe is copied from an illustration we have of the Swan theatre's stage and audience pit - this being the nearest thing we have to a contemporary illustration of an Elizabethan theatre.

What did the Globe Theatre look like on the outside?
The new Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London, which is about twenty years old, was designed to look as much as possible like the Globe Theatre built in 1599. If you look for images of that theatre you will see what it looked like.
