What is the evolution of acting troupes into Elizabethan theater?

What will be an ideal response?


The rise of theater coincided with the growth of the middle and upper classes, who had the leisure time to enjoy an occasional play or two. However, there were no permanent theaters to meet the growing demand until 1576. Before the advent of permanent theaters, companies of actors were officially adopted by noblemen, wore their patron’s feudal livery, and were officially his servants. The opening of permanent theaters changed the relationship between actors and patrons forever. Troupes of actors no longer depended completely on their masters.
