What were groundlings in renaissance theater?

Answer:
Poor laborers, tradesmen and their families, who paid a whole days wage (one penny, which would be about 5 to 6 US dollars a day now...) to stand at the front of the theater to see Shakespeare's plays instead of sitting in a covered balcony up at the back.
