Best Answer

The theater company which Shakespeare most famously belonged to was called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. This was the first company that Shakespeare actually owned shares in. But it was not the first one he worked for. The Lord Chamberlain's Men was formed in 1594. By that time Shakespeare was well-established both as an actor and as a playwright, and he did it with other companies which existed before that date. But we are not sure which ones. The fact that Shakespeare's early play Titus Andronicus was played by three different companies: Pembroke's, Sussex's and Derby's (also known as Strange's) suggests that Shakespeare may have been working for one of these companies which encouraged them to try him out as a playwright.
