Maddie, I was once curious about this regarding Ford's Theatre. If there were a capacity of c.1500-1700, and c.200(?) "had to go" at intermission, where did they go? So I wrote Ford's and received the following reply:

"Also, noted in the "National Park Service Historic Structure's Report" of Ford's Theatre (circa 1963), it does not give any indication that any indoor bathrooms/restrooms existed back then. What would have existed at that time just outside behind the theatre were small "outhouses."
