Shakespeare's plays were performed in at least five theatres during his career as an actor. The acting company he belonged to played in The Theatre Playhouse, then moved to The Curtain, then into the newly built Globe in 1599, and then added the Blackfriars to the Globe in 1608. We also have Henslowe's records which suggest that Henry VI and Titus Andronicus were played at the Rose.

We know that Shakespeare performed in at least four theatres: The Theatre, The Curtain, The Globe and the Blackfriars. He may also have performed in the Rose and other theatres in his earlier career.

Shakespeare's plays have been performed almost continuously for 400 years around the world. They have been performed in hundreds of thousands of theatres around the world, and in fact are being performed in thousands of theatres right now as I write this.

That being said, there are some which are more associated with Shakespeare than others. The New Globe, in London, built in 1996, is intended to copy Elizabethan staging. The Old Vic is a theatre built in 1818 which was famous for its Shakespeare productions from 1914, and being the home of Olivier's National Theatre Company. The Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, England, is the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company (the RSC), the most renowned group of Shakespearean actors at the present time. It is on the banks of the river Avon in 1932, partly incorporating an earlier theatre that was destroyed by fire. The Drury Lane Theatre is one of a series of theatres built on the same spot since 1653 (rebuilt 1674, 1794, and 1812) and was the home of famous Shakespeareans Nell Gwyn, David Garrick and Edmund Kean, although it is now used primarily for musicals. The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden (often just called "Covent Garden") was built in 1732 and rebuilt twice after fires. Famous Shakespeareans William Charles Macready, Sarah Siddons, and both Keans played here. Her Majesty's Theatre, now the permanent home of the musical The Phantom of the Opera, was built in 1897 for Shakespearean Herbert Beerbohn Tree.

Outside of England, the Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ontario has four theatres, the largest of which is the Festival Theatre at which major productions of Shakespeare can be seen every year. In New York, Shakespeare plays were the staple of early Broadway theatres, up to the end of the nineteenth century, and continue to be produced in various theatres. Some notable productions were Hamlet with Richard Burton at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre (1964), and Othello with Paul Robeson (1943-5, Broadway's longest-running Shakespearean play). The Broadhurst Theatre had Jude Law's Hamlet in 2009 and at time of writing has the only Shakespeare on Broadway, Al Pacino in The Merchant of Venice. The Delacorte Theater is a Greek-style amphitheatre and the most famous Shakespeare Theatre in New York. Located in Central Park, it is the home of The Joseph Papp Public Theater company, and has seen performances by James Earl Jones, Sam Waterston and Morgan Freeman.

Shakespeare's plays were almost certainly first performed in the theatres which the company owned or had exclusive use of: The Theatre (to 1597), The Curtain (1597-1599), The Globe (1599-1542) and The Blackfriars (1608-?), although some of them may have premiered in private performances at court and not in the public theatres at all.

When was theaters closed?

There is no one theatre which can be identified as "Shakespeare's theatre". Shakespeare performed in a number of different theatres, although most particularly in the two he owned a share in. In any case, the main reasons for theatre closures applied to all the theatres whether they had something to do with Shakespeare or not. There were two of these: all London theatres were periodically closed for a relatively short time for health reasons, and all London theatres were permanently closed in 1642 by law.
