There is only speculation as to which comanies Shakespeare was associated with prior to 1594 when he helped to found Lord Hunsdon's Men. They changed their name to Lord Chamberlain's Men when he reveived that title, and they became the King's Men when James I became their patron, but they were the same company throughout. They just changed their brand name.

From 1594 to his retirement, a period of almost 20 years, Shakespeare was associated with The Lord Chamberlain's Men, later called the King's Men. Before that he may have been involved with Sussex's, Strange's or Derby's.

We are not entirely sure which companies Shakespeare worked for as a hired actor. Some possibilities are Lord Strange's Men, The Earl of Derby's Men, Pembroke's Men, and Sussex's Men.

In 1594 Shakespeare stopped being a hired actor and started being a self-employed actor as one of the partners of a new company, with which he worked for the rest of his career.

How many theatre companies did Shakespeare run?

None. Shakespeare was not the leading light in any of the theatre companies he belonged to. In the company he was a member of for nearly twenty years, the Lord Chamberlain's/King's Men, the leader was Richard Burbage. Burbage (and his brother Cuthbert) ran the company; Shakespeare did not.


What was the name of the group that performed William Shakespeare's plays?

Scholars argue over Shakespeare's first theater company. Queen Elizabeth's Men, Lord Strange's Men, and the Earl of Derby's Men are all possibilities. In 1594, Shakespeare, Burbage, and others founded Lord Hunsdon's Men, which became the Lord Chamberlain's Men soon after.


Shakespeare first theater company was called?

The theater company which Shakespeare most famously belonged to was called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. This was the first company that Shakespeare actually owned shares in. But it was not the first one he worked for. The Lord Chamberlain's Men was formed in 1594. By that time Shakespeare was well-established both as an actor and as a playwright, and he did it with other companies which existed before that date. But we are not sure which ones. The fact that Shakespeare's early play Titus Andronicus was played by three different companies: Pembroke's, Sussex's and Derby's (also known as Strange's) suggests that Shakespeare may have been working for one of these companies which encouraged them to try him out as a playwright.


What was the name of Shakespeare's theatre company in 1961?
