This is a difficult question to answer for a few reasons. First, theatrical performances took place in all kinds of venues, very few of which were exclusively used for drama. Second, the purpose-built theatres were not all there at the same time--they went out of fashion or were torn down and replaced by newer ones. Third, when you think of Shakespeare, you think of drama in or around London, but there was theatre going on in the rest of the world at the same time.
Some of the theatres around London which were regularly used for theatrical performance in Shakespeare's time included the Theatre, Newington Butts Playhouse, the Curtain, the Rose, the Swan, the Globe, the Red Bull, the Fortune, the Hope, the Blackfriars, the Boar's Head and St. Paul's. A number of inns were also regularly used as theatres including the Bel savage, the Bull, the Bell, and the Cross Keys.
