Not much. It was a newer, nicer theatre than the Curtain, but basically the same layout. Shakespeare had a small share in the Globe which probably earned him some extra cash, but that's all. Apparently Shakespeare moved for a while to Southwark to be nearer to work, but he ended up moving back to London after a bit.

It depends what you mean by "Shakespeare's theatre". Do you mean the theatre which was built in 1996 and is called Shakespeare's Globe Theatre? Or do you mean the theatre company which he joined, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, which was founded in 1594? Or do you mean the tradition of Elizabethan theatre of which Shakespeare was a part, which started in about 1560? It could be any one.
Which theatre did Shakespeare put his investment into?

What did William Shakespeare do in the theater?
Although we do not have complete records, we know that Shakespeare had many roles in the theatre. He was part owner of the Globe theatre and a member of the Lord Chamberlain's men and later the King's men. That meant that he fulfilled the role of producer in the modern sense. He also was an actor. He may have been involved in the direction of the plays. He was the company's main playwright until he brought in John Fletcher to co-write plays with him and to take over from him when he retired. We do not know what jobs he did while learning the theatrical trade, but likely he did a variety of menial jobs during this period.

Where was most of shakespeare's plays performed?
Theatre was a new thing in Shakespeare's time - but a handful of businessmen realised that there was serious money to be made very quickly by supplying people with this new form of entertainment. A builder called William Burbage started his own theatre company, and began by putting on plays in rented theatres around London. (The Swan, The Curtain, and The Rose were three famous early theatres). Burbage soon realised he could make more money as a theatre impressario than he could as a builder, so he purpose-built a theatre (called The Theatre) and went into full-time business producing plays. There were two really big theatre companies in London at the time. In south London Edward Alleyn and Philip Henslowe were making a fortune with their star playwright Christopher Marlowe. (There is a fairly accurate coverage of this in Shakespeare in Love). At some stage Burbage's company started using plays written by one of their actors, William Shakespeare. Shakespeare wasn't as well-educated as Marlowe, but he had a better sense of humour. William Burbage eventually passed his company, and The Theatre, on to his son Richard Burbage. Burbage eventually re-built The Theatre on the south bank of the Thames in Southwark, and re-named it The Globe. Most of Shakespeare's plays were performed in The Theatre, or The Globe. Towards the end of Shakespeare's life a new, smaller theatre was built in Blackfriars - so that plays could be more successfully staged in the winter. (The Globe and The Theatre had partly-open roofs, so rain and very cold weather were a problem). A few of Shakespeare's last plays were probably written for the Blackfriars theatre (The Tempest and Pericles seem to be among these) - but Shakespeare was already close to retirement by then.

How do the places in Shakespeare's life show up in his writing?
Rarely. Shakespeare almost never refers to himself or his life in his plays, unless you count one of his favourite metaphors: life is like a theatre and people are like actors.
