No.they were considered unseemly
Women Sexist country :(
It was only men that were allowed to act in Shakespeare's time, and only his company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, was allowed to present there.
Women were not allowed to act in plays. That doesn't necessarily mean that they were "banned from the stage", however, as wealthy people sometimes watched the play from the stage.
Not just the Globe Theatre but any theatre. I think its to do with acting being thought as a disreputable enterprise and not the kind of thing women should get involved in.
The Globe theater was the most popular theater of its time. It was built in 1597 and men were the only ones allowed to act in plays during that time. Men even portrayed female characters.

Women were not allowed to act in those times. Only men were allowed and they did have to act as women. Women could and did do backstage jobs, particularly in the "tiring house" (costume department).

Yes as in Elizabethan culture it was socially unacceptable for women to be actors in the theatre. So as a consequence female parts were played by males.

Young men whose voice had not yet cracked played the female roles back in the Elizabethan era. They did this because women were not allowed to act.
men would play girls in the globe because at that time women were not allowed to act in public theater.
No, not unless you count Shakespeare's Globe Theatre which was built in 1997. Women in England did not act on stage until 1660. The first Globe burned down in 1613 and the second one was torn down in 1644.
In the Globe Theatre, only male actors were allowed to perform, as women were banned from the stage during the Elizabethan era. Young boys, often prepubescent, played female roles. The actors were typically members of acting troupes, such as the Lord Chamberlain's Men, which was associated with playwright William Shakespeare. This practice reflected the societal norms of the time regarding gender and performance.
