There were actually two Globe Theaters. One burnt down in the 1600s and was later rebuilt. The one that is in London now is a replica constructed using old drawings and records.

The Globe as a hexagonal structure (six sides) with an inner court about 55 feet across. It was three-stories high and had no roof. The open courtyard and three semicircular galleries could together hold more than 1,500 people. The Globe Stage

Like a Baseball field, the outer stage was by home plate. It was a rectagular platform that pushed in to the pitcher's mound area. There was a thatched roof and hangings. There was an inner stage used by actors who were in a scene but not directly involved. Underneath the floors of the stages was a large cellar called "hell", allowing for the dramatic appearance of ghosts. The actors in "hell" would have to wait in darkness. There was a tiring-house stairway at the very back of the cellar. It contained the dressing rooms, the prop room, the musician's gallery, and connecting passageways.

The third level had a central music gallery and two large lofts on either side of it.

The audience sat in the "outfield." There were several levels. Some people would watch in the standing room in front of the stage.
