Where was Shakespeare globe theater?
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is the name of the reconstruction built in 1997. It is in the area of greater London south of the Thames, called Southwark. Its address is 21, New Globe Walk. The theatre Shakespeare worked in was just called "The Globe" (no "Shakespeare's" about it) and was also in Southwark not far away. Specifically, the foundations are under 67-70 Anchor Terrace, Southwark.
Why is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre called what it is?
It is called that because it is a reproduction of the First Globe Theatre which stood near to where Shakespeare's Globe is located from 1599 to 1613, when it burned down. It is called "Shakespeare's" Globe Theatre because at the time that it was built, in 1997, William Shakespeare was far and away the most famous person to have been associated with the First Globe. The name "Shakespeare's Globe" ONLY refers to the theatre built in 1997. The one built in 1599 and the one built in 1614 were both called simply The Globe. At the time they were built, William Shakespeare was not the most famous person associated with them, nor was he the principal owner of them.
Can you still watch plays in the Globe theatre?
The original Globe Theatre (British spelling!) was closed in 1642. A modern reconstruction was built in 1997, not far from the site of the original, and is called "Shakespeare's Globe." You certainly can see plays at the newly built theatre - see the link below.
What was the name of the theater where most of Shakespeare's plays were made famous?
The Globe Theatre is the theatre most often associated with Shakespeare. However, it was not his theatre in the sense that your car is your car. He did not own it although he did have a financial interest in it. It was not the only theatre he had a financial interest in. It is far from the only theatre he acted in; he acted in many others. It was not the only place Shakespeare's plays were seen (although they were performed there) and they played lots of plays by people other than Shakespeare there. Finally, none of his contemporaries would ever have thought of the Globe as "Shakespeare's theatre"; almost certainly it would be "the Burbages' theatre."
How did one get a good seat at the Globe theatre?
It depends on what your definition of a good seat is. In the days of the Globe Theatre, the floor seats closest to the stage were the cheapest seats. The further one sat in the Globe, the more expensive the seats as opposed to today where the close seats are more expensive. In order to get a far away "good" seat, one usually had to be a member of the aristocracy.

What was the name of the playhouse of chamberlain men?
Their first playhouse was the Theatre, but when a dispute with the landlord meant they couldn't use it, they moved to the Curtain theatre not far away. In 1599 a builder hired by the two main shareholders in The Lord Chamberlain's Men, star actor Richard Burbage and his brother Cuthbert dismantled the Theatre, which they owned and used the timbers to build a new playhouse called the Globe. They also bought an indoor theatre called the Blackfriars in 1608. In 1613, the Globe Theatre burned down but a new Globe Theatre was built almost immediately and was used by the King's Men for the rest of their existence.
