Your teacher has misinformed you if you think that all of the performances of Shakespeare's plays during his lifetime took place at the same time. Performances at the open-air "wooden Os" like the Theatre, Curtain, Rose and Globe took place at 3:00 p.m. because they relied on the angle of the sun being right to illuminate the stage and not dazzle the eyes of the spectators. But many performances of the plays took place indoors in people's homes, halls and palaces even before the company acquired a permanent indoor theatre, the Blackfriars, in 1608. Performances indoors could take place any time and often were held in the evening.
The Greeks used the stories that were presented in theatre, we now know as myths, to give guidence. Attending the theatre was not expensive (depending on the position of seating/standing). The theatre, or odeon, was next to the place where the politics took place. This emphasises the influence it had. Plays often political ideas presented in them.
The theatre was a holy place. No violence was permitted onstage.
There are many different parts to the theatre building and stage. The original Greek names have changed in meanings a little. The word 'Theatre' is from the Greek 'Theatron' and means 'the watching place'. this referred to the seating area itself. The seating area was often semi-circular or semi-ovular. At the center of the 'theatron' was the 'Orchestra'. Again, the original meaning is different. The 'orchestra' was where the Greek chorus would dance and sing (the changing of the chorus over the history of Greek theatre is very interesting and I recommend you ask about the Chorus later). The last part of the theatre was the 'Skene', from where we get the word scene. The Skene was the actual stage where the actors engaged each other. The Skene was often a permanent structure and built with great architectural detail.
