Props
On the sides
Yes they did. They used a range of props from big props (ie. beds and cannons which were left on the stage) to smaller props (like daggers and swords).
Props in sixteenth-century productions were just like props of today. If they needed swords, they had swords. If they needed drinking glasses, they had drinking glasses. They had a skull for Hamlet, a handkerchief for Othello, and a ring for Viola. They did not go in for unnecessary props, props just to decorate the stage. Although Tree insisted on real rabbits to decorate the stage in Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare assuredly did not.
The set designer (or set manager, or set dresser) is responsible for verifying and maintaining the prop items. During production, they may be handled by an assistant, or by a designated "props manager", who coordinates with the set manager and the stage director to assure that the props are properly placed and handled.
No, Alice Cooper did not poop on stage. This rumor may stem from his theatrical and shock-rock performances, which often include outrageous antics and props, but there is no credible evidence to support such an incident. His shows are known for their elaborate staging and over-the-top elements, but this particular story is likely a myth or misunderstanding.
