What was the first play Shakespeare staged at the Globe Theatre?

You mean the newly built Globe Theatre, of course. The Globe was not just moved from North London and renamed; although it used the timbers of the old Theatre, it was in most respects altogether new.
Many people think that Julius Caesar may have been the first play performed there. We have a diary record of a man who went to see it shortly after the theatre was built.

∙ 11y agoWe do not know for sure. "Julius Caesar," "Henry V," and "Hamlet" have all been suggested by various scholars. We do know that "Hamlet" was one of the first new plays by Shakespeare performed at The Globe. Both "Caesar" and "Henry V" had been performed previously at other playhouses before the company moved to The Globe.

∙ 11y agoThe earliest play which we know for sure was performed at the Globe was Julius Caesar. This was on September 21, 1599.
Some people think that Henry V was performed there before Caesar was but there is no evidence for this.

Why is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre called what it is?
It is called that because it is a reproduction of the First Globe Theatre which stood near to where Shakespeare's Globe is located from 1599 to 1613, when it burned down. It is called "Shakespeare's" Globe Theatre because at the time that it was built, in 1997, William Shakespeare was far and away the most famous person to have been associated with the First Globe. The name "Shakespeare's Globe" ONLY refers to the theatre built in 1997. The one built in 1599 and the one built in 1614 were both called simply The Globe. At the time they were built, William Shakespeare was not the most famous person associated with them, nor was he the principal owner of them.
When was the stratford theater built?
The first Globe Theatre was built with materials and timber taken from the first 'Theatre' in 1599 when William Shakespeare and the Chamberlain's men were forced to leave because the Puritan owner, Giles Allen, refused to re-new the lease. It only took six months to build. Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, who had owned the Theatre were the majority owners of the Globe. The first Globe burned down in 1613 but a second Globe was rebuilt on the same spot and was ready for use in 1614. It was torn down in 1644 to make way for housing. Shakespeare's Globe, a modern replica of the first Globe, was built in 1997.
What was Shakespeare's first play at Globe Theatre?
Most people think it was Julius Caesar.
What was Shakespeare's connection with Globe Theatre?
The first Globe Playhouse existed in London, in England between 1599 and 1613. Many of Shakespeare's plays were performed on the Globe theatre for the first time. He was a part owner of the Globe as well as being a partner in the company that performed there.
What happened to Shakespeare's first theater in 1613?
The first Globe burned down on June 29, 1613 during a performance of Shakespeare's Henry VIII. But it is misleading to call it "Shakespeare's first theatre". Shakespeare was not the owner of it and nobody at the time would ever have associated it particularly with Shakespeare, but rather with Richard Burbage, the famous actor who with his brother owned half of the theatre. It was not the first theatre to see Shakespeare act or the first to see his plays performed. It was the first theatre Shakespeare invested in in a small way (the second was the Blackfriars) and only in this sense can it be thought of as his first theatre.

How was William Shakespeare theatre destroyed?
If there was a theatre called "William Shakespeare Theatre", you will have to be a little more specific. Was there such a theatre built in Akron, Ohio in the 1930s? Or in Calcutta in the 1890s? If the theatre you are talking about is "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre", it is still standing, having been built in 1997. If the theatre you are talking about is the Blackfriars Theatre, in which Shakespeare acted and held a small share, it was demolished in 1655. If the theatre you are talking about is the First Globe Theatre, in which Shakespeare also acted and held a small share, it burned down on June 29, 1613. If the theatre you are talking about is the Second Globe Theatre, which was built to replace the first one in 1614, and which might have had nothing to do with Shakespeare, it was torn down in 1644.

What theater is famous for Shakespeare and his company?
The theatre most often associated with Shakespeare is the first Globe, which was built in 1599 and burned down in 1613.

His career had started more than ten years before the Globe was built and in 1608 the King's Men started playing at the indoor Blackfriars theatre as well as the Globe.

What was the theater that was nicknamed Shakespeare's theatre?
There isn't one. Oh, people talk about the first Globe as being Shakespeare's Theatre (although he only owned a minor part of it) but that was not its nickname at the time it actually existed. People at the time associated the Globe with the Burbages (who really did own it) not Shakespeare.
