None. Shakespeare was not the leading light in any of the theatre companies he belonged to. In the company he was a member of for nearly twenty years, the Lord Chamberlain's/King's Men, the leader was Richard Burbage. Burbage (and his brother Cuthbert) ran the company; Shakespeare did not.

What was the legal status of Shakespeare's theater?
Your question is not clear. If you mean by "Shakespeare's theatre" the theatrical profession in Shakespeare's day, it was legal provided that the theatrical company was under the patronage of a member of the nobility or royalty. Without such a patron, a company of actors were "masterless men" and might be arrested as vagabonds and vagrants. If you mean by "Shakespeare's theatre" a theatre Shakespeare played in, there were a lot of them, with different legal arrangements. The Theatre was owned by James Burbage, but the land under it wasn't. When the landlord decided he didn't like plays he locked people out of the theatre. The Rose was owned by Philip Henslowe, and he also owned the land it was on. Henslowe appears to have also owned Newington Butts Theatre. Burbage may have owned The Curtain playhouse. Shakespeare acted in all these playhouses. When James Burbage died his sons Richard and Cuthbert inherited the Theatre but couldn't do anything with it because of the lockout. When the landlord was away, they hired a carpenter, Peter Street, to take down The Theatre and move the timbers to a new location south of the River Thames. In order to finance the building of a new theatre they took on four investors, each of whom was to own a one-eighth share in the new playhouse, to be called the Globe, which was opened in 1599. The Globe was therefore run by a partnership, in which there were major partners (the Burbages) and minor partners (one of whom was Shakespeare). The landlord of the property where the Theatre had been built was unsurprisingly furious and sued the Burbages, but the court held that the theatre building belonged to the Burbages and not to their landlord, and that they were within their rights to take it away. Legally speaking, the court held that the theatre was a chattel, not a fixture.
Why did Shakespeare's theatre as well as others come to an end in 1642?
Shakespeare was well out of the theatre business by 1642, by which time he had been dead for 26 years. There was no theatre at that time called "Shakespeare's Theatre", not even as a nickname. Any of the theatres that Shakespeare had a piece of were more associated with the Burbage family. But to get back to the year 1642. This was an important year in the history of English Theatre. The Puritans, a group of extremists who wanted the country run along the lines of their rather depressing religion, got control of Parliament, and abolished the performance of plays. Obviously this meant that there was no commercial use for the theatres and they all ended up being torn down. It was almost twenty years before plays would be allowed in England again. During that time, a whole new attitude to theatre and how to perform plays had developed in the absence of an "old guard" to maintain the traditions of the Elizabethan and Jacobean stage.
Are any of shakespeare's plays being performed at the moment?
Yes, almost certainly, especially in the summer when Shakespearean Festivals generally have their run. But it is impossible to keep track of every single performance of a Shakespeare play going on somewhere, since they are played by University groups and community theatre groups as well as professional countries. However, you are certain to find Shakespeare plays being performed at Shakepseare festivals by companies dedicated to his work. And there are a lot of those, especially in the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia. See the attached link.
How did Shakespeare run his stage?
Your question assumes that Shakespeare "ran his stage", whatever that means. It suggests that he acted as a director or stage manager of his theatre company. However, we have no indication that anyone performed either of those functions in the company, and if they did, it probably wouldn't have been Shakespeare doing it. The lead actor and star Richard Burbage would have been the one "running the stage" if anyone did.
