The Globe Theatre was built in 1599. It was destroyed by fire in 1613, and rebuilt with modern construction techniques in 1997.

Although Shakespeare invested in the Globe (as well as the Blackfriars Theatre) he did not build it.

Shakespeare did not build the Globe Theatre and did not get the wood.

Although the Burbages brought the wood and most of the money, Shakespeare kicked in some cash to buy plaster, nails, paint, etc.

Why was shakespeare theatre closed in 1592and what happend to it in 1613?

There was no "Shakespeare Theatre" in either 1592 or 1613. Shakespeare did not own any part of any theatre until 1599. In 1599, Shakespeare's associates Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, who did own a theatre, wanted to build a new theatre to solve some of their legal problems. They therefore arranged to use parts of their old theatre to build the new one, but they needed some cash to buy supplies. Enter Shakespeare and some other guys who put some money into the Burbages' new theatre in exchange for a cut of the profits. It was this new theatre, the Globe Theatre, which burned down on June 29, 1613 during the performance of one of Shakespeare's plays. To the people back then, the Globe would have been the "Burbage Theatre" since Richard Burbage was more famous than Shakespeare and actually owned a large chunk of it.

Who built the Elizabeth theater before Shakespeare?

1. There is not and never has been a theatre called the Elizabeth Theatre.

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

What was the name of the theater from which came the lumber used to build Shakespeare's theater?

If by "Shakespeare's Theatre" you mean the Globe Theatre (which was only partly owned by Shakespeare, and which was not built by him), the lumber was salvaged from the earlier playhouse The Theatre. This was an ok name for it, since these buildings were called "playhouses" at the time, not "theatres".
