Seemingly, guests were at first drawn in by the unique structural frame of the theater, but they continued to visit the playhouse due to the amusing plays.

After its elimination, the Globe Theatre remained virtually unknown with only several individuals recalling its glory. This obscurity lasted until the 1970s when an ambitious American actor, Sam Wanamaker, undertook the task of rebuilding the Globe Theatre. During his project in 1989, the original building’s skeleton was uncovered and this discovery aided with Wanamaker’s attempt at replicating the original building. Wanamaker’s vision was ultimately completed in 1996, but the official opening took place the next year, much to the public’s satisfaction. Plays and events continue to occur at the Globe Theatre and do not fail to enchant theatergoers through the charm and grace of the
Theatres are generally described as a building, part of a building, or outdoor area for housing dramatic presentations, stage entertainers, or motion-picture shows (Dictonary.com, 2017). Throughout time theatres have been used for different things. For example, the historical Globe was primarily used for plays whereas the Sydney Opera House while used for plays, also hosts musical productions, opera and symphony concerts. One simply goes to theatre to watch a performance, a form of entertainment.
During this time period, there were not any televisions, cell phones, or computers. Because of this people relied on the theater to keep them entertained. Though officially approved playhouses and acting companies had only been around for about five years The Lord Chamberlain's Men was one of the two acting companies that were permitted to perform in London city limits. Lord Chamberlain's Men used the globe theater, while the other group used the Rose Playhouse which was owned by an impresario and his son-in-law who was a former actor. In 1576 the Blackfriars Theater was built, but Lord Chamberlain's Men could not use it to perform in. This is why the Globe Theater was built in 1598, though they could not finish the original construction because
The Globe Theater was an octagon shape and had three different stories to it. Levels one and two were for dressing and storage. Level three was upper stage and balcony, resembling the courtyard, or a bridge of a ship. The Globe Theater was built with oak wood and timber, the walls were made with plaster. The stage had a canopy over it that represented “the heavens”, moon, stars, planets, sun, etc. There were two pillars supporting the canopy. The stage did not have a curtain either. There were trap doors, entrances and exits, underneath the stage were represented as “hell”. This theater was located in an area called Bankside.
“The Globe Theater” not rebuilt for three hundred and fifty-two years when it’s mysterious location was discovered under a car park. News broke out that remains of “The Globe Theater” foundation had been found starting a spark of curiosity to run the peoples’ minds. “The foundations of the Globe were rediscovered in 1989, rekindling interest-” Many had lost interest in attempting to find its location, believing that it was hopeless for even wondering. “Its exact location remained unknown until the remnants of the theater were discovered in 1989 beneath the car park of Anchor Terrace on Park Street.” Queen Elizabeth II opened the theater with a production of Henry V and ever since then it has staged a play every summer.
Shakespeare was at the height of creative powers, and his theatrical company, the King's Men, was the official royal acting company. He had the large Globe Theater, a large public playhouse on the south bank of the Thames. He would soon open the Blackfriars Theater, a small private
The Globe Theater’s history behind being built was based off the period of life that it was built in. After the plague ended in the 1800s, there was a company of actors known as the Lord Chamberlain’s Men who needed a theatre to perform in. This group is where Shakespeare was first known to be part of. Many theatres were unable to reopen in England after the plague ended. The group performed in the Cross Keys Inn for a little while while looking for a theatre but there were restrictions for performing inside of the city’s limits. Shakespeare was the lead playwright for the group by the time the plans for the Globe came about. This group of actors were not the only actors that were struggling at the time because the Theatre, which was a main place for plays to be performed was closed after the lease for the land had expired and the owner refused to renew the lease. This sent Cuthbert and Richard Burbage, the sons of the original owner of the Theater who had died, into an outrage. They decided to build a new playhouse located in Bankside of London (Wright 71-76). The theater became famous for being the place where Shakespeare did
William Shakespeare is known to be the “greatest English-speaking writer in history” and an England’s national poet, actor, and an extremely successful playwright. During Shakespeare’s acting career in London, he started writing all about “European geography, culture, and diverse personalities (History.com).” Willm Shakspere or William Shakspeare, as written by him, then went on to write plays. His first three plays were all created around or a little before 1592 and captured the core studied categories; tragedy (Titus Andronicus), comedy (The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Comedy of Errors and The Taming of the Shrew), and history (Henry VI trilogy and Richard III). He wrote plays and sonnets for many theater companies, was one of the main playwrights for the Lord Chamberlain’s Men, which was renamed the King’s Men when James I was in charge, and formed the Globe theater in 1599 with other partners. Shakespeare’s unique language, themes, verses, format, characters, and plots makes his writing universal to every culture and time period. Shakespeare is still taught in school nowadays due to its’ educational and transitional purposes. Shakespeare continues to influence modern-day life and I believe will for a long time to come.
The history of theatre in the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries is one of the increasing commercialization of the art, accompanied by technological innovations, the introduction of serious critical review, expansion of the subject matters portrayed to include ordinary people, and an emphasis on more natural forms of acting. Theatre, which had been dominated by the church for centuries, and then by the tastes of monarchs for more than 200 years, became accessible to merchants, industrialists, and the less privileged and then the masses.
When it was time to pick what High school I'm going me and my mom got in argument. I want to go to Hayward high and she wants me to go to Mt.eden. Well the problem here is that Hayward high is far and Mt.eden is closer to my house. But my mom doesn't realize that Hayward high is a better High school. Is better at teaching and learning as a student. Mt.eden can be closer but later on it's not going to care if it was close or far. Is going to care what I learn and how was I teach. That what my mom really doesn't get. She told me “ no matter what school you go if you want to learn you learn” She said in a mad and happy voice. But what my mom told me that really didn't convince me of changing my mind to go to Mt.eden.
Theatre today as in ancient Greek times is a popular form of entertainment. Today’s theatres share many similarities with the Greek predecessors however they are also very different. There are in fact many differences for example; layout, special effects, seating arrangement, the importance of drama and religion, setting, location and architectural features.
There were other amenities that were lacking for the theaters. Almost all the lighting for the theater was natural light. This meant that most plays would have to be show during the daytime. The theaters did not have heating either. In the winter months they would have to shut the theater down and be transferred to indoor playhouses. This actually helped boost popularity because it gave the people something to do during the cold winter months since it was inside. There were no microphones or soundboards to be able to hear so actors had to speak loudly and clearly. Unfortunately, there were also no toilets at the theater. “But there were no toilets and the floor they stood on was probably just sand, ash or covered in nutshells” (Shakespeare Globe Education). During the summer hours when it would become real hot the pit would be called the “stinkards.”
This is a must watch Broadway show that makes your fine, terrible, or even boring day, an absolute blast. The Play That Goes Wrong has finally made its way to America and right at the heart of New York City near Times Square at the Lyceum Theatre. Therefore, the experience is a win-win situation for the audience. The Lyceum Theatre’s architecture is astonishing as it is filled with ornaments, I also realized the letter ‘L’ around the theater, but the most interesting fact is that it is a landmark. It has a proscenium stage while the audience is in the orchestra, balcony, or the mezzanine seats, like where I sat, and there is barely any space if you are a tall person. My seat was near the far end of mezzanine, I couldn’t see a part of the left side of the stage, so I found myself bending sideways to see what was going on, but I saw nothing. I found the side stage lights and a side balcony blocking my view and yet I had a great time.

“In roughly built playhouses and cobblestone inn yards, an extraordinary development took place in England in the 1500s.” (Yancey, 8). At that time, an opportunity combined to produce literature achievement never before witnessed in the history of drama and theater. The renaissance, helped spark this movement by inspiring scientific and artistic creativity throughout the land.

In Arthur Miller’s, The Crucible, the figures of authority have to find ways to settle the uneasiness throughout the town, whilst proving their citizens guilty and innocent. This becomes especially difficult for Reverend Parris and Reverend Hale, when the townspeople put an immense amount of pressure on them, because of their social status and capabilities. Reverend Parris has authority because, in a Puritan society, church and government are closely tied together. Though, he does not use his authority in an effective way when the trials are occurring for the reason that, he is committed to protecting his reputation, and his social standing. When Parris finds out that the reason his daughter cannot wake is because of Abigail and the other girls dancing in the forest, he draws the conclusion that his name and reputation will be ruined, “I saw it! Now tell me true Abigail. And I pray you feel the weight of truth upon you, for now my ministry’s at stake … Abigail, I have fought here three long years to bend these stiff-necked people to me, and now, just now when some good respect is rising for me in the parish, you compromise my very character” (Miller 11). Parris is ordering Abigail to tell him the truth about what had happened in the forest, the day that all the girls were together. She denies that it was witchery or any activity that could harm anyone else, “it were sport uncle!” (11). Revered Parris continues to attempt to force it out of her, by informing her that he is
