It was greatly improved from where it was when the church had outlawed it for being a 'cult'. Queen Elizabeth's father had brought it back by stopping the Pope's power in England. So the role was entertainment, and expression of freedom, and occupation, and bringing back the past.

"The Elizabethan Theatre" is a phrase which does not refer to a building, but rather to an artistic period. It means the plays, playwrights, actors, performance styles, and production details from England in the late sixteenth century. The Elizabethan Theatre is the theatrical world of that time.

Of course, a specific building might be named the Elizabethan Theatre, but if you are talking about that you should refer to the city or town where the building is built.

To entertain. Elizabethan playscripts are as varied as all the screenplays used in all the films in the world: some are funny, some are serious, some are stupid, some are intellectual, some are all pageantry and song and dance, and some are all about the characters. Sex and violence are, as always, favourite themes. And why? Because people love to be entertained.
