Term for patrons who stand on the floor of the theater?
I believe the term you are looking for is "Promenaders" or "Groundlings"
The the people who would stand in the gallery floor space in the Albert Hall (London) during 'Prom' performances are called "Promenaders"and the term for the audience standing in the 'Yard' area of Shakespeare's Globe Theater (London) was "Groundlings." They paid one penny to get in and stood on the floor.
