The way this question is phrased suggests that Shakespeare single-handedly put on performances of his works. Nothing could be further from the truth. Performance of the plays required a large cast together with business managers and backstage help to move properties, clean and repair costumes and so on. In all this Shakespeare was but a small cog.

Nevertheless, Shakespeare was a well-known actor and probably did perform parts in most if not all of his plays, which were put on at various times by the acting company he belonged to, The Lord Chamberlain's Men (after 1603, The King's Men). The venues of the plays varied. We know of at least five different theatres in which the Chamberlain's Men played: The Theatre, The Curtain, Newington Butts, The Globe and the Blackfriars. In addition to performing in theatres, they also performed in the houses of important people and also at court. Twelfth Night was performed in the hall of the Law School. Sometimes the company took its plays on tour of towns in the country, in which case they would have performed in various guildhalls, innyards and other makeshift theatres.
