We do not know for sure. However, there is a pamphlet called Greene's Groatsworth of Wit which was published September 20, 1592 which seems to refer to a line in Shakespeare's Henry VI Part III. Since that play was not published until later, the line must have become famous from a performance. This suggests that this play had already been performed and was well-known before 1592. Greene's sneering remarks about Shakespeare being an "upstart crow", crow being slang for actor, suggest that he was better known as an actor at that time, so Henry VI Part III may have been the first play of Shakespeare's to be performed and was certainly one of the first. (It actually may have been written and performed before Parts One and Two. Its title when first published was "The True Tragedie of Richard Duke of Yorke and the Good King Henry the Sixt" for which the shorter but more boring title of "The Third Part of Henry Sixth" was substituted in the First Folio. Part II was published first, though)
Unfortunately our records as to when things were published is better than those as to when things were performed. We only know for sure performance dates based on 1. the records of the fire that destroyed the first Globe, fixing a performance of Henry VIII and 2. diary entries of people who attended the plays. We can fix an early performance of Julius Caesar in this way.

What was the name of the theatre of Shakespeare's first play perfumed?
If Shakespeare did write an early play called "Perfumed" it is since lost. We really don't know for sure what his first play was, when it was written and whether it was performed at all.
When was the play as you like it first performed?
"As You Like It," a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare, is believed to have been first performed around 1599 or 1600. The exact date is not definitively known, but it is thought to have been staged at the Globe Theatre in London. The play was published in a quarto in 1623, which further confirms its existence during that period.
What Shakespeare play is set on January 5?
Twelfth Night is January 5. However it is not clear whether the play is called that because it was set on Twelfth Night or because it was first performed on that date. There is nothing in the text suggesting that the play takes place in winter. And there is a subtitle "What You Will" which also happens to be the title of another play around at the same time. A plausible explanation is that Shakespeare had written his play What You Will and then someone else put on theirs. Not wanting there to be confusion, Shakespeare (or the members of his company) quickly gave it a name based on when it was to be performed, which is the name that stuck.

When was the date of Shakespeare's first play?
We are not sure a) which of Shakespeare's plays was his first, and b) exactly when any of his plays were written. It's a reasonable guess to suggest a date around 1589-1590 as the date when he started writing plays.
When was the play The Merchant of Venice first preformed?
The earliest recorded date that the Shakespeare's play "The Merchant of Venice" was performed was in 1605. It was in the springtime, at the court of King James of England. An "encore" presentation was performed a few days later, however there are no other recorded performances of the play until after the 1600's.
