The audiences that went to shakespeares play ranged from poor people (peasants, commons) to the nobility, even as high as a monarch. The differences were that the common people were on the lowest level, with all the dirt and other foul smelling things. While the nobility sat on the higher levels away from the common people.
Shakespeare's play had very wide appeal. (They still do!)
In his day there were touring performers, playing wherever they could find an audience. But, by Shakespeare's time, actual, purpose-built public theaters had become popular.
The audiences were made up of everyone in the community, the plays had something for everybody. There was humor, of all types, ranging from bawdy to highly intellectual. The characters in his works were drawn from real life, the rich, the poor, the traders, the ruling class, servants and common laborers, professionals, historic, contemporary, English and international, mythical and real.
Shakespeare's plays, among other things, highlighted the differences between cultures and classes, the humor helping us all to see the common lot of us all, regardless of our personal place in the world at large. "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players:..." ~As You Like It. Act 2 scene 7.

Everyone except the very rich (who could afford to have the players come to them), the very poor (who could not afford the one penny admission) and the very religious (who thought that the theatre was an abomination).
Everyone except those who were so rich and powerful that they could have the actors come to their place and put on the play in their living room. For example, the queen did not go to the theatre; the theatre came to her.
People of all social classes went to see Shakespeare's plays.
Everyone who was not a Puritan and not so desperately poor that he couldn't pay the one penny admission.

At the globe theatre they hung flags to represent what type of play it was. Black represented Tragedy. White was hung for a humorous play.

Nothing. The Globe theatre was one of the Elizabethan theatres. Think of "Elizabethan" as a time or type, not an actual theatre with that name.
It's a theatre. No agriculture goes on there. Perhaps you meant "framing"? The Globe was timbered with Tudor half-timbering. The reconstructed Globe used oak beams and filled with a plaster which would have been used in the reign of Elizabeth.

The word "theatre" includes cinemas where you see images projected onto a screen and also places where you see real live actors perform on stage. There might be a theatre called the Globe Theatre which is a cinema because it's a common name for theatres. But the most famous Globe Theatre (1599-1613) was destroyed many centuries before the invention of cinemas, and was exclusively built for stage plays.

Shakespeare's plays, Jonson's plays, Beaumont and Fletcher's plays, Middleton's plays and any other the Lord Chamberlain's Men could get their hands on. Tragedies, comedies, histories, and tragicomedies were all featured.
All timbers used in the reconstructed Globe are oak.
