Shakespeare's theatre group was called the Lord Chamberlain's Men. This company was formed in 1594 and became one of the most important theatrical companies in London, performing many of Shakespeare's plays. After King James I ascended to the throne in 1603, the group was renamed the King's Men.
Shakespeare bought share in a theatre group where worked for five years. The name of the theatre is Globe theatre.
Shakespeare did not name the acting group he belonged to. Elizabethan theatre groups did not name themselves; they were required by law to have a noble or royal patron and the theatre group took its name from that person. If the patron changed his title, the name of the company changed; if the patron was replaced by someone else (as happened with the company Shakespeare belonged to) then the name of the company changed. Even if the theatre company has some say in what they were called, and they didn't, Shakespeare was not the leader of the company. The brothers Richard and Cuthbert Burbage were the leaders. The patrons of the company were Henry Carey, the Lord Chamberlain and King James I.
The only theatre group that we know that Shakespeare belonged to, he belonged to from 1594 to 1613, a period of nineteen years.
The traveling group of actors that performed at the Globe Theatre was known as a "playing company." One of the most famous of these was the Lord Chamberlain's Men, which included William Shakespeare as a prominent actor and playwright. This company was instrumental in the success of the Globe Theatre and performed many of Shakespeare's works.
