Let's get it clear, Shakespeare was not the builder or the main push behind the building of the Globe Theatre. He only invested money in it. The timbers came from The Theatre, a playhouse north of London owned by the Burbage family. There was a dispute with the landlord so the Burbages sent their carpenter to tear it down and move the timbers south of the river. The landlord was livid, and sued the builder and the Burbages but lost.

What was the name of the theater from which came the lumber used to build Shakespeare's theater?

If by "Shakespeare's Theatre" you mean the Globe Theatre (which was only partly owned by Shakespeare, and which was not built by him), the lumber was salvaged from the earlier playhouse The Theatre. This was an ok name for it, since these buildings were called "playhouses" at the time, not "theatres".
