He may have worked for all of them for all we know. But what we do know is that in 1594 Shakespeare was made a partner in a new company made up mostly of actors from Lord Strange's men, and it is this company which Shakespeare worked with for the next twenty years or so, although the personnel and even the name of the company changed from time to time.

Who placed Shakespeare's theater under protection?
If when you say "Shakespeare's Theatre" you are thinking of a building, then the answer is nobody, but in any case there never was a building known as "Shakespeare's Theatre". Theatre buildings were not "placed under protection". If you mean by "Shakespeare's Theatre", Shakespeare's Acting Company (and confusing these is like thinking the words "team" and "stadium" mean the same thing), they did have patrons, as all legitimate acting companies were required by law to have. All acting companies had to have a noble patron or they were considered to be vagabonds and vagrants. The patron lent his or her name to the company in order to allow it to comply with the law. In a sense this is like placing it under protection. The patrons of the acting company Shakespeare belonged to (he was not the leader of it or its most famous member at the time) had The Lord Chamberlain as its patron up to 1603 and afterwards King James I was their patron.
What were shakespeare players became known as?
In Shakespeare's day, the men and boys who performed his plays were called players. However, later they became known as actors (although this word was already being used by Shakespeare: see Polonius's remark "I was accounted a good actor") and after 1660 some of them were called actresses. If you are talking about the acting company to which Shakespeare belonged, one thing they were never known as were "Shakespeare Players", which is why I assume you meant the people who performed in his plays.
