A theatre is not the same thing as a theatre group. Shakespeare invested in a theatre group in 1594 when he was made a partner of the company called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Five years later, the senior partners in the company, Richard and Cuthbert Burbage inherited the playhouses The Theatre and The Curtain from their father. The Curtain was the theatre habitually used by The Lord Chamberlain's Men, and, for complicated legal reasons, they couldn't use The Theatre. The Burbages planned to build a new theatre in a different part of London, using the timbers from The Theatre which they couldn't use anyway. However, they didn't have quite enough cash to do this so they asked some of the members of the Chamberlain's Men to contribute. One of these was Shakespeare.

It is misleading to suggest that Shakespeare had spent those five years saving his pennies for the particular purpose of contributing to the building costs of a new theatre. He had no idea that such an opportunity would come up. But when it did come up, he was too shrewd a businessman to let it go.

Actors Working For William Shakespeare


William Shakespeare spent five years working for a theater group to make money for an important investment what was the investment?

Many of the co-owners also invested in the Globe playhouse in 1599 and in Blackfriars in 1608.


When did Shakespeare start working on his theatre?

Shakespeare did not own a theatre building--not outright at any rate. He did contribute financially to a couple and got a share of the profits from them. Shakespeare never planned or built any theatre buildings or worked on their construction in any way. If you are asking when Shakespeare started working in the theatre business, the answer is nobody knows because this is an event that occurred during what are called his "lost years" between 1585 and 1592.

William shakespeare then spent 5 years working for this theatre group and saved enough to make an important investment -buying a share in a theatre which one?

Shakespeare invested in the Globe Theatre in 1599, five years after he invested in the Acting Company The Lord Chamberlain's Men. The suggestion that he squirrelled away his money for those five years so he could buy a share in the theatre building is ridiculous, because, first, nobody knew five years earlier that the Burbages would need investors in the Globe since they had two perfectly good theatres already, and second, Shakespeare had a lot more money than he put into the Globe. In fact, two years before investing in the Globe, he spent a whack of money buying the second-largest house in Stratford-upon-Avon for his wife to live in.


What is the Globe Theater?

It was the Theatre Shakespeare's company built in 1599 and where his plays were performed. It could hold up to 3000 spectators standing and sitting. It burned down in 1613, was rebuilt with a different roof and eventually was torn down in the 1640s.The Globe Theatre (called Shakespeare's Globe) isa replica of the 1599 theatre built in London in 1996 and used as a working theatre.


Where have replicas been made of Shakespeare theater?

There actually is no theatre called "Shakespeare theater". William Shakespeare worked in a number of theatres over the course of his 25-year plus career. These include the Theatre, the Curtain, the Rose, Newington Butts, the Globe and the Blackfriars. Of these The Globe is the most famous, and there exists a replica, built in 1996, in London England called "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre". This theatre has been built very close to the site of the original Globe and Rose theatres. To mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death, a replica of the second Globe theatre (built in 1614 after the first one burned down during one of Shakespeare's plays) has been built in Auckland New Zealand and will later be dismantled. There are seven Globe Theatre replicas in the USA, two in Germany, one in Italy and one in Japan. The replica of the Rose Theatre used in the film Shakespeare in Love has been preserved with the hope that it can be used as a regular theatre; there is also a Rose Theatre replica in Michigan. There is a replica of the Fortune Theatre (erected in 1600 by the theatre company in competition with Shakespeare's) at the University of Western Australia, and other replicas of this same theatre in Japan and Poland. There is a working replica of the Blackfriars Theatre, a theatre which Shakespeare owned a part of, in Staunton, Virginia, USA.


What is interesting about the history of William Shakespeare theater?

There is no theatre called "William Shakespeare Theater", at least not as far as I can tell, so your question might be about:One of the theatres Shakespeare worked in, like the Theatre, Curtain, Globe and Blackfriars. He also performed at the Rose and Newington Butts.One of the theatres Shakespeare had shares in, like the Globe or Blackfriars. Shakespeare was not the primary owner of any theatres.The reconstructed Globe theatre which now stands in London, the official name of which is "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre".The state of drama at the time Shakespeare was working, in the same way we talk about "modern theatre", or "theatre of the absurd". The usual name for the kind of drama they had in England in Shakespeare's day was "Elizabethan drama" or "Jacobean drama".All of these have different histories with interesting facts. Did you know that Shakespeare and the company he performed with made the Curtain their main base when the landlord locked them out of the Theatre? Or that the Blackfriars theatre was constructed in the same room that a divorce hearing took place between Henry VIII and his first wife Catherine of Aragon? Or that the reconstructed Globe theatre is the first thatched building built in London since 1666? Or that the demand for plays in Shakespeare's day was very great, because there were several acting companies, and each one brought out new plays once or twice a month?

When did William Shakespeare join the theatre?

The exact date is, sadly, unknown. Some time between 1585 when the twins were born and 1592 when Greene lampooned Shakespeare and paraphrased a line from one of Shakespeare's plays, Shakespeare moved to London and became an actor and playwright, working with one or more companies in one or both capacities.
