What is a fill light in stage theater?
A fill light, in theatre or stage lighting, is just another name for a flood light. Flood lights generally consist of a bright halogen lamp, housed with an aluminum reflector hehind it, to reflect the unfocused, soft light against a backdrop or a wall. They are normally found suspended from a batten (in a theater) or from a truss beam (generally in a stage setup), or simply found placed on the floor, aiming up towards the subject. Gels can also be used to change the colour that is spilled by the wide-angle light, or 'luminaire' as refered to in theatre.
Theater has borrowed ideas from many fields. The term fill light comes from cinematography, where the system of lighting often uses a "key" or primary source of light on a subject, and a fill light for the set, background, shadow fill, etc. The contrast between key and fill in intensity and color, as well as the angle and intensity of the key light help set the mood.
In theater, the same lights are sometimes used for key and fill lights, but the relative intensity can be varied from scene to scene.
Theatrical designers often use a key/fill system in thinking about lighting a scene, but it is only one of the many possible systems.
Why would you have a standby and an understudy?

What is a stage lighting color schedule?
The color schedule lists all of the color media required to implement the lighting design for a production including the size and type of the color, and usually the location of the light that will receive the color. It is part of the paperwork in the lighting design. The color schedule can be used by electricians to prepare all of the color with reference to a single set of paperwork.
====================================
A stage lighting schedule includes a set plan for the types of equipment, lights, color gels, and gobos used throughout the entire production. It further includes, (mostly likely based on scene) when to use which particular types of lighting (spots, strobe, moving, etc) and their respective color to help display mood and really bring the production to life. Color gels or color filters can be placed over lights to display any color or aid with color correction. Gobos create dramatic effects on walls and are sometimes referred to as lighting templates. All of these stage lighting fixtures play a key role in the lighting and color schedule. The colors used in stage lighting are set out at the start of a production and a very detailed list of when to use which piece of lighting equipment coupled with a color sheet is determined.

How was the setting show to the audiance during the performance at the Globe Theatre?
Mostly through dialogue. The scenes change quickly and only such set pieces as were necessary for the action would be used: tables and chairs for the feast in Macbeth or the tavern in Henry IV Part I; a bed for the bedroom scene in Othello (probably concealed at the back of the stage); a throne for the throne rooms in Henry VI Part I or Henry V.
The thrust stage with its balcony and concealed space at the back was totally unsuited to any kind of backdrop, and there were no flies or wings to move scenery into. The audience had to use its imagination, with the encouragement of the script. "Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them printing their proud hooves in the receiving earth." (Henry V, Prologue)
