There is a significant difference between how plays were perceived and how theatres were perceived. Referring specifically to Shakespeare, the public theatres that his plays were written for had a somewhat rough reputation. The Rose theatre (where some of Shakespeare's early plays may have been performed) was in the same part of town as the brothels and bear baiting pits. The public theatre was seen as a form of entertainment at roughly an equivalent level (by some at least - namely the culturally elite). The Globe Theatre was built in the same part of London. Plays were attended by people of all social strata, however. Usually the same plays that were performed in the public theatres were performed in court for royalty.

What was thee theater where Shakespeares's plays first performed?
Different Theatres for different plays. Some of Shakespeare's plays were written before he had a lasting association with the theatre owners James, Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, and were known to have been performed at Henslowe's Rose and Newington Butts Theatres. After he became a partner in the company in 1594, Shakespeare's plays were only put on by that company in one of the Burbage playhouses: the Theatre, the Curtain, the Globe and the Blackfriars. But the plays were often not performed in theatres at all, but on makeshift stages in public halls (the first recorded performance of Twelfth Night took place in such a venue), people's houses and at court. The plays may have premiered in one of these venues and not in a theatre at all.
