When people used to go and watch perfomances in the Globe, the wealthy, or as you would say "the posh people" would sit on the seats in the theatre.
The Globe Theatre is the theatre most often associated with Shakespeare. However, it was not his theatre in the sense that your car is your car. He did not own it although he did have a financial interest in it. It was not the only theatre he had a financial interest in. It is far from the only theatre he acted in; he acted in many others. It was not the only place Shakespeare's plays were seen (although they were performed there) and they played lots of plays by people other than Shakespeare there. Finally, none of his contemporaries would ever have thought of the Globe as "Shakespeare's theatre"; almost certainly it would be "the Burbages' theatre."
That would be the Globe. None of the others started with G.
The Globe Theatre, when it was built in 1599, was the largest theatre in London, with a capacity of 3000 people. It was eclipsed by the slightly larger Fortune Theatre shortly thereafter. However, not all of those 3000 people were seated; by far the majority stood for the performance. The modern reconstruction of the Globe (Shakespeare's Globe Theatre) has a capacity of about 1100 people, of which 400 are seated. The number of seated people in the original Globe was slightly higher as seats were sold on the balcony and on the stage itself if you had the pull and the money. The standees were expected to pack themselves in much more tightly than people would be comfortable with nowadays.
It would cost a penny for the standing room at the Globe Theatre in Elizabethan time.

Hence the name.... Globe theatre. Would it make sense if it was a rectangular prism?

The standees were called groundlings.
roughly around 1500 people would fit in the globe theatre including the groundlings.

Anybody that wanted to go could, but depending on where you wanted to stand, you would have to pay.
Colored flags were flown that denoted the performance status.
a cannon was sounded and then the orchestra in the gallery would start playing
There were over 1500 people and the Globe Theatre was outdoors. Some say it could hold as many as 3000 people but a lot of them would not have been seated. The standing room seats were quite popular.
