What is the name of the theater in which shakespeare performed his plays and was partial owner?
Shakespeare did not build any theatres. He was not a builder. He did not arrange for any theatres to be built either. When his friends Richard and Cuthbert Burbage found that there were legal problems with using the theatre (called The Theatre) which their father had left them in his will, they had it dismantled and moved the main timbers south of the River Thames, where they were handed over to the builder Peter Street. However, the new theatre needed plaster and flooring and a number of other things which could not be brought from the old theatre, and the Burbages did not have enough to pay. They turned to the actors in their company and offered them shares in the profits of the theatre in exchange for an investment. Four members of the company stepped up to the bar with money and got a share in the theatre, which was called the Globe Theatre, as a result. Shakespeare's share was 12.5%. When the Burbages refurbished their indoor theatre the Blackfriars Shakespeare bought into that as well.
