The Lord Chamberlain's Men were the acting company which William Shakespeare belonged to. He performed with them, and his plays were the property of the company. The connection of the company with Shakespeare is what makes it significant.
They were an Elizabethan and Jacobean acting company who were around from 1594 to 1642. Their most famous members were William Shakespeare and Richard Burbage.
The company was The Lord Chamberlain's Men until 1603 when they became The King's Men.
Shakespeare helped to create an acting company, two playhouses, over thirty plays and more than a hundred and fifty sonnets.
The Lord Chamberlain's Men was an acting company formed in 1594. William Shakespeare was one of its charter members. Most of its partners had previously been partners in other acting companies, particularly Lord Strange's Men, which had gone broke due to the long theatre closures in 1593-4. Apparently this was not true of Shakespeare; as far as we can tell this was the first time he was a partner in an acting company.
Burgurs and Chips
William Shakespeare did not change his name. His acting company did, however, change its name. His Theatre Company was originally called "The Lord Chamberlain's Men" after the Lord Chamberlain, an official responsible for theatres and other public entertainment. After the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603 the company was granted a charter by the new King, James I, and the company changed its name to The King's Men.
