No. Indeed, he had already been an actor and playwright for ten years before it was even built. His plays were known to have been performed at the Rose, Newington Butts, Theatre and Curtain theatres before there ever was a Globe Theatre. His company also performed regularly at the Blackfriars Theatre, especially in the winter. But they also performed in places other than theatres. They performed at least once at the palace before Queen Elizabeth, and many times at the palace before King James. The first performance of Twelfth Night we know of was at the law school auditorium. We also have records of performances in private houses for those rich enough to hire them. And also, when the theatres were closed due to plague, the company went on tour of the country towns and performed wherever they could including inn yards and guildhalls.
