Theatres were constantly being built and being destroyed so the number changed from time to time. The Theatre was closed in 1596 and taken down in 1599 when its parts were used to build The Globe in a different part of London. The Rose was an older and smaller theatre which had been partly expanded. The Admiral's Men, who played there, built the much larger Fortune theatre and moved, which led to the decline of the Rose and its eventual demolition. The Globe burned down in 1613 and was not rebuilt until the next year.
Some of the theatres which were around in Shakespeare's time were The Theatre, The Curtain, The Rose, The Swan, The Globe, The Fortune, The Hope (or bear garden), Newington Butts, the Blackfriars (there were actually two theatres by this name at different times), and St. Paul's. There were also a number of innyards used regularly for plays (4 or 5 that we know the names of).

Why were many theatres closed during shakespeares time?
All theatres in London were closed during the years 1592-1593 because of a particularly nasty plague outbreak. During that time, actors had to play in venues outside of London, which were much less profitable. There was a smaller plague outbreak and theatre closure in London in 1596.

How many plays did shakespeare write when he was in London?
All of them. He did not start writing plays until he was established in the London theatre scene. (Of course he may have written some when on tour when the theatres were closed, or when vacationing at home with his wife, but that is sheer speculation)

Why were most theaters built outside of London?
This is an interesting question. Historically, London has played an important role in the development of theatre, and has a high concentration of theatres. However, many other places, particularly traditional tourist resorts like Blackpool and Torquay, have theatres, too. New theatres, like Milton Keynes Theatre, are built in ares where there is enough space for a new building, but in London there just isn't room for new developments of the size needed for a new theatre. It is logical that, with London covering such a small area of the UK, most theatres will be outside London. London has over 40 theatres, and it's West End is still considered to be the home of theatre in the UK. The same holds true globally, as well. People all over the world enjoy the arts, so have built theatres. In the same way that we can say there are more theatres outside London than in London, we can also say that there are more theatres outside New York than in New York, or anywhere of your choice.

What happen to theatre companies during shakespeares time?
In 1593-1594 there was a really bad outbreak of plague in London. All of the theatres were closed, so the theatre companies had to go on tour of the country towns to try to make a living. However, they could not sell anywhere near as many tickets in the country as they could in the city, and a lot of them went broke and disbanded. The actors from these various disbanded companies reformed under new patrons. One of these was the Lord Chamberlain's Men, of which Shakespeare was a founding member.
