A tiring house is a segment of an auditorium held for the performing artists and utilized particularly to dress for stage doors.
The most famous is the Globe Theater Tiring House:
This tiring-house contained the changing areas with access to the prop stay with interfacing section and stairways. The 'Tiring House' was a hive of action with performing artists changing their clothing and gathering their props. Albeit a large number of the plays were performed by on-screen characters wearing Elizabethan garments the Globe Theater Costumes had a place with the Theater and were both exorbitant and luxurious.
The word, “tiring” of “tiring house” is based on the root “tire.” At first, the word may look foreign, but when we realize the root “tire” is in the word “attire,” it begins to make some sense. As you may know, “attire” means clothing. Thus, “to tire” would mean to put clothes on. And, a tiring house would be a sort of dressing room where props, too, could be stored or immediately accessed in order for actors to include them with their costumes while they dressed. The balcony area would generally be located near the tiring house (usually directly above it).
