Just to make it clear, Shakespeare was associated with only one acting company for almost all of his career. It was the only company he was actually a partner in. But it did have two names. The reason for this is that the names for acting companies in Shakespeare's day were never chosen by anyone. It's not like nowadays where if you start an acting company you can call it anything you want. In those days the name of your company was the name of your patron. Period. If you changed patron, or if the patron changed his name or his job, your company's name would change, and you had nothing to say about it. If a group of actors in Shakespeare's day tried to say "We're the Happy Day Players", they would get a visit from the police who would say "Happy Day Players, eh? That means you have no patron" and throw them all in jail.

How were Shakespeare's actors chosen?

All acting companies in Shakespeare's day had a permanent roster of players. Shakespeare did not write a play and then choose the actors for it; he had the actors and wrote the play for them. It is possible to see the difference between the parts written for Will Kempe when he was the company funnyman and the parts written for Robert Armin when he replaced Kempe.


Why was Claire danes chosen for Juliet in romeo and Juliet?

Actually, Natialie Portman was their first choice for the film, but she and diCaprio did not have the right chemistry. Claire Danes was chosen, among other reasons, because she is a classically trained actress--she has specifically studied acting in Shakespeare's plays.


Why did Random male actors elegantly costume for shakespeares female roles?

In the time of shakespeare women were not allowed to preform on stage. The job of acting was limited to only males. So, for the roles of women the all male cast made adjustments, thus being cross-dressing. Usually young boys were chosen for the roles due to their higher pitched voices and smaller figures. Although it seems like a lot of work when women could have easily filled the roles, it was just the social customs of the time. Due to this, the plays Tewelth Night and many others were actually much more humorous for the original viewers. Can you imagine a man dressed up to look like woman who is pretending to be a man? The most simplistic answer is that women were not allowed in the acting profession at this time, hence the male actors costumed for female roles.
