Here is My Poem I am studying the use of the globe theater. If you have any comments, please post on here. The Globe Theater was designed as a primal place of Elizabethan entertainment. It stood… well no one really knows the exact dimensions, it burned down, but we do know it was roughly 100 feet in diameter and was three stories high. It could house 3,000. It was crescent shaped to create an amphitheater. The attendants would stand through the whole play. The main floor was called the pit, which was on the same level as the stage, was for the less wealthy person. The pit was also not floored or roofed. The higher levels were for the wealthier. They had more of the standard comforts such as space, flooring, and roofs for protection against the elements. The most important part of the theater, the stage, or “apron’s stage” as it was called was 5 feet off the ground, 43 feet wide. And 27 feet long. The rear part of the stage had a roof supported by columns. The ceiling under this roof was called the “heavens.” There was also a trap door in the center of the stage that fell to the area below the stage. The Globe was designed very effectively.
