One of the great advantage of the concept of writing, developed about 5000 years ago, is that you can still read and use the words of someone who is dead. Thus you can still read Jane Austen's novels long after Jane has died. Shakespeare does not have to be alive for you to perform his plays because they were written down.
Shakespeare's plays were not performed in order to make Shakespeare happy. People did not say in 1616, "Thank heavens Shakespeare is dead so we don't have to perform his plays any more." On the contrary, they performed and continue to perform Shakespeare's plays because they are the best plays ever written in the English language. Shakespeare's death did not change that.

One play was first published in 1634 as a separate publication. Of course the plays had been performed many times and were well known before Shakespeare died, but they had not been published.

There is probably no one theatre where all of Shakespeare's plays were performed. You may be thinking of the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre was built in 1599 and probably saw all of the plays Shakespeare wrote after that date. But Shakespeare had already been a playwright for seven or eight years before the Globe was built. If any of his plays written before 1599 were played at the Globe they would have to have been revivals. Some of his old plays may have been revived, but all of them? Unlikely.
