There was a door, and only one. To get in to watch a play, you had to go through this door where there was a man with a porcelain box collecting money. (This is the origin of the term "box office") When they built the replica Globe in the 1990s the fire marshals were horrified by this arrangement and insisted that the replica have more doors in case of fire. This is interesting, since the original, one-doored Globe was actually destroyed by fire when it was full of people, and the whole audience escaped uninjured through that one door.

What was the name of the theater where most of Shakespeare's plays were made famous?

The Globe Theatre is the theatre most often associated with Shakespeare. However, it was not his theatre in the sense that your car is your car. He did not own it although he did have a financial interest in it. It was not the only theatre he had a financial interest in. It is far from the only theatre he acted in; he acted in many others. It was not the only place Shakespeare's plays were seen (although they were performed there) and they played lots of plays by people other than Shakespeare there. Finally, none of his contemporaries would ever have thought of the Globe as "Shakespeare's theatre"; almost certainly it would be "the Burbages' theatre."
