How did actors get their expensive costumes at the Globe Theatre?

Costumes were not the property of the theatre, but rather of the company. Although there was a lot of overlap between the people who owned shares in the Globe Playhouse and the people who owned shares in the Lord Chamberlain's Men, they were not the same thing. The Lord Chamberlain's Men (later King's Men) owned the costumes, props and scripts. The Globe Theatre did not.Playing companies often got their best costumes as castoffs from the nobility. Once out of fashion, the upper crust didn't want them any more, and fashions changed fairly quickly. The costume collection was one of the company's most valuable assets. Some costumes would have been made by the costume department, who were called tiremen and tirewomen (after the word "attire"). The place where they made, adapted, fitted, cleaned and repaired the costumes was called the tiring house, which was just behind the stage.

What was it like to go to the globe theatre?

I enjoyed it. The best way is to go to the New Shakespeare's Globe in London and watch a play there. Or if you can't do that, then watch a recording of a play being performed there. Or watch the beginning of Laurence Olivier's Henry V, which has an impression of what Elizabethan theatre was like live. Then imagine that the crowd is rowdier.
