How was the Elizabethan era notified about the plays for the globe theatre?

i'm doing a globe theater project and one of the questions says how was the public notified about performances?

In the Elizabethan era, the main form of advertising a play was for the Globe to run up a flag showing the theater was open. The color of this flag also told the people what type of performance was being shown: white meant a comedy, black meant a tragedy, and red meant a history.

Posting a notice outside the theatre, and using town criers. These were the most popular forms of advertising anything in that time period.
Fliers on the town square bulletin board, cryers in the street, verbally advertising the upcoming play.
