Read the excerpt from the time traveler's guide to elizabethan england.

these [the miracle plays] go out of favor when the privy council decrees that they are too close to catholicism and should stop. those at york cease in 1569. in chester the citizens defy the privy council and continue performing their play about noah’s flood well into the 1570s. the coventry mystery plays are finally suppressed in 1579, so this is the town to visit if you want to catch one later in the reign. the guary miracle play in cornwall continues for some years but is so amateurish it can hardly be seen as a threat.

The event that happened second is The plays being performed in York ceased.

Explanation:

As playhouses were banned from many places, actors were forced to play in new theaters outside of the city which at first represented a very difficult moment for theater, plays, and actors, after all the limitations they had to pass through, there were no more plays in York and then the companies needed to find allies to keep in business.
