Queen Elizabeth supported the theatre and encouraged her courtiers to sponsor theatre companies. She herself sponsored a company for a period. She was, however, not as strong a supporter of theatre as was her successor, James I and his family.
Queen Elizabeth was not as important to the theatre or to Shakespeare as was her successor King James, but both these monarchs did encourage the theatre. Legislation passed in Elizabeth's reign distinguished between wandering vagabonds and legitimate actors and set out the conditions which would allow actors to escape the effect of the vagrancy laws, which conditions involved having a noble patron. Although the Queen was not the first person to patronize a company, she did do so. The Queen also encouraged the performance at court of plays and other interludes by the various companies including the Lord Chamberlain's Men, Shakespeare's company. Her support of the theatre thwarted the policy of those people who thought that theatre shoudl be outlawed because it encouraged vagrancy, prostitution, lewdness, pickpockets and disease.
Under King James, royal patronage of the theatrical arts grew stronger--the King, Queen, Princes and Princesses all patronized playing companies, and court performances were very common. The King had a much more important and direct effect on Shakespeare than Queen Elizabeth because he himself was the patron of Shakespeare's company.
Queen Elizabeth I was important to the development of theater because she enjoyed and encouraged it. During her reign, the theater went through its 'Golden Age.'
she really really liked it, had her own theatre company and she wanted the theatre to stay open.
English. England.

Elizabeth I
None. Queen Elizabeth supported many acting companies by having them perform at court, including Shakespeare's, but his was not a particular favourite. Her successor, King James, however, took over the patronage of Shakespeare's acting company (which were then of course renamed the King's Men). He can genuinely be said to hvae sponsored Shakespeare.

Queen Elizabeth II officially opened Shakespeare's Globe Theatre on June 12, 1997.
1. There is not and never has been a theatre called the Elizabeth Theatre. (There are Queen Elizabeth Theatres in Toronto and Vancouver, but no Elizabeth Theatre), so obviously nobody built a theatre by that name. 2. William Shakespeare did not build theatres. He was not a builder. He was not a contractor. Nor did he hire them. Shakespeare invested in theatres, he did not build them.
If you are talking about England, the country where Shakespeare was born, Elizabeth the 1st was the Queen
Queen Elizabeth was queen when Shakespeare was born and continued to be the queen until she died, when Shakespeare was 39.
Queen Elizabeth major influence in 16th century theatre came mostly through her patronage of William Shakespeare. She supported him and many other artists of this time period.
William Shakespeare's plays were so well done that Queen Elizabeth asked him to have them performed in her castle. It is not said that Shakespeare's plays were performed in a different public theatre.
because she liked shakspere
Both Queen Elizabeth and King James supported the theatre. James sponsored the Theatrical company that Shakespeare belonged to.
She wasn't. She was the queen, of course, but her successor, James the 1st was much more important to Shakespeare, being the sponsor of the theatrical company to which he belonged.
yes she enjoyed it. the first theater was built under her reign(the Globe) and she had Shakespeare's plays performed there.
Shakespeare's birth date is not known, but he was Baptized on April 26, 1564.Queen Elizabeth I was Queen of England at that time.
