Julius Caesar, which was known to have been performed at the Globe in 1599 (the year it was built), is a good candidate. Some people seem to think that Henry V was the play, but it is unclear what evidence if any there is for this idea.

What happened to Shakespeare's first theater in 1613?
The first Globe burned down on June 29, 1613 during a performance of Shakespeare's Henry VIII. But it is misleading to call it "Shakespeare's first theatre". Shakespeare was not the owner of it and nobody at the time would ever have associated it particularly with Shakespeare, but rather with Richard Burbage, the famous actor who with his brother owned half of the theatre. It was not the first theatre to see Shakespeare act or the first to see his plays performed. It was the first theatre Shakespeare invested in in a small way (the second was the Blackfriars) and only in this sense can it be thought of as his first theatre.

It is called that because it is a reproduction of the First Globe Theatre which stood near to where Shakespeare's Globe is located from 1599 to 1613, when it burned down. It is called "Shakespeare's" Globe Theatre because at the time that it was built, in 1997, William Shakespeare was far and away the most famous person to have been associated with the First Globe. The name "Shakespeare's Globe" ONLY refers to the theatre built in 1997. The one built in 1599 and the one built in 1614 were both called simply The Globe. At the time they were built, William Shakespeare was not the most famous person associated with them, nor was he the principal owner of them.

How was William Shakespeare theatre destroyed?
If there was a theatre called "William Shakespeare Theatre", you will have to be a little more specific. Was there such a theatre built in Akron, Ohio in the 1930s? Or in Calcutta in the 1890s? If the theatre you are talking about is "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre", it is still standing, having been built in 1997. If the theatre you are talking about is the Blackfriars Theatre, in which Shakespeare acted and held a small share, it was demolished in 1655. If the theatre you are talking about is the First Globe Theatre, in which Shakespeare also acted and held a small share, it burned down on June 29, 1613. If the theatre you are talking about is the Second Globe Theatre, which was built to replace the first one in 1614, and which might have had nothing to do with Shakespeare, it was torn down in 1644.
