In exactly the same way they do now. Some actors would be paid by the theatre company to perform their roles. They were paid on a per performance basis. These were the "hired men". If the actor had a little money to invest, he could become a partner (or "sharer") in a theatre company, and they he would get a share of the profits.
Theatre companies made money exactly the same way they do now as well. They put on a play and people paid money to watch it. If enough people showed up they would take in more money than it cost them to put on the show, and there would be a profit for the sharers to share.
