There are some lost years of Shakespeare before he began his acting and writing career. There are stories that have Shakespeare minding the horses outside of London theaters and another story that he was a schoolmaster. There is no proof that he was either of those things.

When did Shakespeare's theatre start?

It depends what you mean by "Shakespeare's theatre". Do you mean the theatre which was built in 1996 and is called Shakespeare's Globe Theatre? Or do you mean the theatre company which he joined, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, which was founded in 1594? Or do you mean the tradition of Elizabethan theatre of which Shakespeare was a part, which started in about 1560? It could be any one.

None. This was fifty years before he was born. Nor did he ever "join a theatre". A theatre is a building you put on plays in--you cannot join it any more than you can join a bridge or a warehouse. What Shakespeare joined was an acting company, called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and he did it when the company formed in 1594 (he was a charter member), eighty years after the date you propose.

Who built the Elizabeth theater before Shakespeare?

He was not a builder. He was not a contractor. Nor did he hire them. Shakespeare invested in theatres, he did not build them.
