Best Answer

Early in his career, Shakespeare had his plays performed by, and may have been a member or, Lord Strange's Men or Lord Pembroke's Men. After its formation in 1594, Shakepeare's plays were performed by the Lord Chamberlain's Men, of which he was a founding member. In 1603, it became the King's Men when the new king, James I, became its new patron.

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.


Why was shakespeare theatre closed in 1592and what happend to it in 1613?

There was no "Shakespeare Theatre" in either 1592 or 1613. Shakespeare did not own any part of any theatre until 1599. In 1599, Shakespeare's associates Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, who did own a theatre, wanted to build a new theatre to solve some of their legal problems. They therefore arranged to use parts of their old theatre to build the new one, but they needed some cash to buy supplies. Enter Shakespeare and some other guys who put some money into the Burbages' new theatre in exchange for a cut of the profits. It was this new theatre, the Globe Theatre, which burned down on June 29, 1613 during the performance of one of Shakespeare's plays. To the people back then, the Globe would have been the "Burbage Theatre" since Richard Burbage was more famous than Shakespeare and actually owned a large chunk of it.

What was the Bear Garden in shakespeare time?

It was another name for the Hope Theatre, a theatre which could be converted for use as a bear-baiting pit. None of the significant acting companies liked the Hope, so it ended up being used for bear-baiting almost all of the time.

Did all theatre companies have a theatre to use?

I take it you are asking whether all of the theatre companies in Shakespeare's day had a theatre which they could call their home base. Any theatre company could hire a theatre for one performance, but it was useful to be the only company using a particular theatre. For one thing, you could store your costumes and scripts there. Only three companies had this advantage: The Lord Chamberlain's (First, the Theatre, then the Curtain, then the Globe, then the Globe and Blackfriars), The Lord Admiral's (The Rose and later the Fortune), and Worcester's (The Red Bull). Other companies had to play either in a rented theatre, private homes, public halls or inns, as became convenient.


What theater did Shakespeare use in London?

I do not know how a person is supposed to "use" a theatre, unless you rent it or something, and Shakespeare never did that. As an actor, Shakespeare appeared on the stages of a number of London theatres, including The Theatre, The Curtain, Newington Butts, The Globe and The Blackfriars.
