What theatre did shakespeare spend 5 years working for its theatre group and saving enough to make an important investment?

A theatre is not the same thing as a theatre group. Shakespeare invested in a theatre group in 1594 when he was made a partner of the company called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Five years later, the senior partners in the company, Richard and Cuthbert Burbage inherited the playhouses The Theatre and The Curtain from their father. The Curtain was the theatre habitually used by The Lord Chamberlain's Men, and, for complicated legal reasons, they couldn't use The Theatre. The Burbages planned to build a new theatre in a different part of London, using the timbers from The Theatre which they couldn't use anyway. However, they didn't have quite enough cash to do this so they asked some of the members of the Chamberlain's Men to contribute. One of these was Shakespeare. It is misleading to suggest that Shakespeare had spent those five years saving his pennies for the particular purpose of contributing to the building costs of a new theatre. He had no idea that such an opportunity would come up. But when it did come up, he was too shrewd a businessman to let it go.

The Globe Theatre, because Shakespeare did act in it, along with other theatres. It was one of two theatres which he owned a share in. He also was a part owner of the Blackfriars Theatre and he acted in it as well, but not for as long as the Globe.


When did Shakespeare start working on his theatre?

Shakespeare did not own a theatre building--not outright at any rate. He did contribute financially to a couple and got a share of the profits from them. Shakespeare never planned or built any theatre buildings or worked on their construction in any way. If you are asking when Shakespeare started working in the theatre business, the answer is nobody knows because this is an event that occurred during what are called his "lost years" between 1585 and 1592.

How many theatre companies did Shakespeare run?

None. Shakespeare was not the leading light in any of the theatre companies he belonged to. In the company he was a member of for nearly twenty years, the Lord Chamberlain's/King's Men, the leader was Richard Burbage. Burbage (and his brother Cuthbert) ran the company; Shakespeare did not.


Why did Shakespeare's theatre as well as others come to an end in 1642?

Shakespeare was well out of the theatre business by 1642, by which time he had been dead for 26 years. There was no theatre at that time called "Shakespeare's Theatre", not even as a nickname. Any of the theatres that Shakespeare had a piece of were more associated with the Burbage family. But to get back to the year 1642. This was an important year in the history of English Theatre. The Puritans, a group of extremists who wanted the country run along the lines of their rather depressing religion, got control of Parliament, and abolished the performance of plays. Obviously this meant that there was no commercial use for the theatres and they all ended up being torn down. It was almost twenty years before plays would be allowed in England again. During that time, a whole new attitude to theatre and how to perform plays had developed in the absence of an "old guard" to maintain the traditions of the Elizabethan and Jacobean stage.
