There is no such thing as a "Shakespeare Theatre". Shakespeare performed in theatres, and even invested some money in a couple, but he was not associated with the construction or design or ownership of theatres in his day, or even nowadays. In Shakespeare's day, the theatres in and around London were built either north of the city limits (The Theatre, The Curtain, The Fortune) or south of the river in Southwark (The Rose, The Globe, The Swan) because the city fathers would not permit the construction of a theatre in the city limits. Indoor playhouses, at first for the companies of child actors and later for adult companies were built inside the city over time. Certain Inns (such as the Bel Savage and the Cross Keys) were licenced for theatrical productions in the city in the early part of Shakespeare's career.
Shakespeare invested his money in his playing company, which owned theatres, costumes, props and other valuables. He also loaned money to others. He bought a large and valuable house in his hometown of Stratford.
Shakespeare joined the playing company called Lord Chamberlain's Men. The group soon became one of the leading playing companies of London. They changed the name to King's Men after the death of Queen Elizabeth.
