Some of them thought that the content of the plays caused immorality, although they were censored by the Master of the Revels.
Some of them thought they provided a great opportunity for pickpockets.
They were associated with prostitutes and other low-lifes because they were not allowed to set up theatres in respectable parts of town.
Many people thought bringing people together like that was a way to spread disease, so the theatres were often closed when there was a plague epidemic.

How were theatres viewed in the 1500's?
By Puritans: Tools of the devil--they kept people from going to church and reading the Bible. By Civic Fathers: Subversive of the public peace. Getting thousands of people together in one spot attracts criminals and might spread disease. Sometimes these theatre patrons caused riots. By Everone Else: Awesome. The best entertainment money could buy. Better even than bearbaiting.
