The Globe (and all Elizabethan theaters) used flags to advertise their play that day. The Globe used white flags to advertise that the play performed that day would be a comedy or of a light subject. Black flags advertised a tragedy, or play with dark subject matter such as death. Red flags indicated a play associated with blood, usually historical. Sometimes flags with pictures of the next scheduled pay would be flown.

the wings; it's the areas in between the big black/navy blue curtains

The first Globe Playhouse existed in London, in England between 1599 and 1613. Many of Shakespeare's plays were performed on the Globe theatre for the first time.

He was a part owner of the Globe as well as being a partner in the company that performed there.

The puritans caused all theatres to be shut down, the globe was one of the first

the landowner demolished it.

women on top, kids on bottom, hooks in the dressing room and animals on stage

there also might've been different places for different classes to sit. like the Upepr class might have gotten better seats???

By and large, there were not seats, people stood in the middle, there were boxes for the very wealthy, but everyone else stood on straw and other detritous

The Golden Globe Awards were held January 11, 2009 from the Beverly Hilton hotel. They were broadcast on NBC.

Actually, no. Shakespeare's plays attended her. She did occasionally have plays performed before her at court, and there is record that Love's Labour's Lost was performed at court at Christmas 1597.

They would throw anything they got their hands on. They would curse, scream, fight, etc.

in 1599 the first Globe Theatre built

For many centuries the seating was made of wood. Trajan (ruled 98-117) rebuilt it entirely in stone.The Circus Maximus was rebuilt after fires several times. It was redeveloped several times, too. The seating was expanded. Drainage systems were created to deal with floods. Monumental buildings were built around it. Yet, the seating remained wooden until Trajan's days.

Some differences include:

Lighting, actors and the theatres themselves.

LIGHTING:

It is different because there were no lighting effects back in Shakespeare's time. The daylight was the only lighting that they had back then. With today's technology, we can achieve all kinds of different fancy lighting effects.

ACTORS

Now a day, female actresses can perform on stage. Back in Shakespeare's time, only men were allowed to act. But what if there were female roles, I can hear you asking. Well, men would also play these roles. It was said that it was immoral and wrong for women.

THEATRES

In Shakespeare's time the theatres were 'open - air' constructions. For the lower class people they could stand on the floor right in front of the stage. For more wealthy people they could buy 'gallery seats' or could sit on the stage. Today, our theatres are enclosed and seats are in front of the stage and no one is allowed to sit on the stage, nor just stand in front of it.

Hope this helps guys! :P

A "Unit Set" is used in most theater competitions. It is standardized group of risers, ramps, pedestals, etc., that will be available at a contest site. Each group performing may arrange the set pieces any way they desire, but requiring the Unit Set not only places each group on an equal footing (wealthier schools can't bring a dazzling set), but also assesses creativity in how the set pieces are used. It is suggested that each group build their own Unit Set for home rehearsals. Standardized pieces and dimensions should be published in the Region's/State's contest rules. (In Texas it is in the published "UIL C & CR").

All the sonnets are provided here, with descriptive commentary attached to each one, giving explanations of difficult and unfamiliar words and phrases, and with a full analysis of any special problems of interpretation which arise. Sonnets by other Elizabethan poets are also included, Spenser, Sidney, Drayton and a few other minor authors. The poems of Sir Thomas Wyatt are also given, with both old and modern spelling versions, and with brief notes provided. Check the menu on the left for full details of what is available. And did u no he was actually gay :) hope this silly info helped :Dxx:):):)

There has been much debate about this question, and only theories as to how theatre started. I believe it has many origins. Religious cerimonies and rituals (such as war cerimonies, etc.) are among a few happenings that brought about theatre. People would dance to bring rain or whatever and pray to the deities. This later developed into people reinacting stories of their gods in front of each other. Another origin of theatre is the art of storytelling. People would tell stories and sometimes reinact them to pass on important information to the next generation such as stories of ancestors or stories to teach young ones important life lessons. The first actor that we know of is Thespis from ancient Athens. The Greeks would sing ancient hymns, called dithrambs, to honor the god Dionysus. Later, they would dress up in costumes and wear masks to tell stories while singing in chorus. Around the sixth century B.C., began the festivals of City Dionysia (among other festivals) where they held competitions for music, poetry, dance, and singing. Among the most talented winners was Thespis. Thespis was the first person we know of who astounded audiences by actually portraying the characters as he was reciting the poetry. Thus, he is known as the first actor, and we theatre people are referred to as "thespians."

The Globe Theatre is the theatre most often associated with Shakespeare. However, it was not his theatre in the sense that your car is your car. He did not own it although he did have a financial interest in it. It was not the only theatre he had a financial interest in. It is far from the only theatre he acted in; he acted in many others. It was not the only place Shakespeare's plays were seen (although they were performed there) and they played lots of plays by people other than Shakespeare there. Finally, none of his contemporaries would ever have thought of the Globe as "Shakespeare's theatre"; almost certainly it would be "the Burbages' theatre."

We do not know for sure. However, there is a pamphlet called Greene's Groatsworth of Wit which was published September 20, 1592 which seems to refer to a line in Shakespeare's Henry VI Part III. Since that play was not published until later, the line must have become famous from a performance. This suggests that this play had already been performed and was well-known before 1592. Greene's sneering remarks about Shakespeare being an "upstart crow", crow being slang for actor, suggest that he was better known as an actor at that time, so Henry VI Part III may have been the first play of Shakespeare's to be performed and was certainly one of the first. (It actually may have been written and performed before Parts One and Two. Its title when first published was "The True Tragedie of Richard Duke of Yorke and the Good King Henry the Sixt" for which the shorter but more boring title of "The Third Part of Henry Sixth" was substituted in the First Folio. Part II was published first, though)

Unfortunately our records as to when things were published is better than those as to when things were performed. We only know for sure performance dates based on 1. the records of the fire that destroyed the first Globe, fixing a performance of Henry VIII and 2. diary entries of people who attended the plays. We can fix an early performance of Julius Caesar in this way.

The original Globe Playhouse, which was built in 1599 by Peter Street and largely financed by Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, burned to the ground on June 29, 1613 during a performance of Shakespeare's play All is True, otherwise known as Henry VIII, when the wadding from a cannon fired off as a sound effect landed on the thatched roof of the theatre.

Half of the globe is known as a hemisphere.

Shakespeare never owned a theatre outright. He was always a partner, although his percentage changed as the other partners bought in and out. He first invested in the Globe Theatre when it was built out of materials from the Theatre in 1599.

Shakespeare did not build any theatres. He was not a builder. He did not arrange for any theatres to be built either. When his friends Richard and Cuthbert Burbage found that there were legal problems with using the theatre (called The Theatre) which their father had left them in his will, they had it dismantled and moved the main timbers south of the River Thames, where they were handed over to the builder Peter Street. However, the new theatre needed plaster and flooring and a number of other things which could not be brought from the old theatre, and the Burbages did not have enough to pay. They turned to the actors in their company and offered them shares in the profits of the theatre in exchange for an investment. Four members of the company stepped up to the bar with money and got a share in the theatre, which was called the Globe Theatre, as a result. Shakespeare's share was 12.5%.

When the Burbages refurbished their indoor theatre the Blackfriars Shakespeare bought into that as well.
