Theater Now Open!

Brand new theater is now open! After just recently being built and finished in 1599, the globe theater is ready for Shakespeare's written plays to be performed. Located along the banks on London's River Thames, this large, open-aired theater is the ideal location for a performance. It seats up to 3,000 spectators in it's 100 foot diameter so that all of London can come to enjoy the shows. At the base of the stage, there's an area called "the pit" where you only have to pay a penny to stand and watch a play. For another penny, you could be seated right along the benches by the pit. At three pennies cost, you are given a cushion to sit on. The most expensive seats are located in the "Lord's Rooms" with a cost of six pence. Color coded flags are put up to inform you what type of play will be showing.
Red- History play
White- Comedy play
Black- Tragedy play

ALL MEN AND WOMEN ARE INVITED!

Those of you who would like to be in the plays can audition. MEN ONLY. No women are permitted legally to perform in any of the globe theater productions. The acting profession is not credible and is unthinkable that any woman would appear in a play. Female roles will be given to men between the ages 13 and 19 who's voices are still high and muscles are not yet fully developed.

    I did not know that there were flags that showed what type of play it was going to be. That is very interesting.

    Very good job! I had forgotten that females during this time weren't allowed to perform in a play at this point in time!

    The fact that women were not allowed to perform was new to me. I liked how you included a lot of facts!

    Wow, lots of interesting facts! I think it is really interesting that the color of the flag represents what play will be shown. I also am a huge feminist and was disappointed when I read that women could not preform. Great job!

    I like how you advertised the theater and I didn't know the color of the flag determined the type of play, I really like how you incorporated that detail
