Best Answer

From 1594 on Shakespeare was only associated with one company--the Lord Chamberlain's/King's Men. Before 1594 we cannot be quite so sure but there are indications: the first quarto of Titus Andronicus says the play was performed by Derby's Men, Pembroke's Men and Sussex's Men. Shakespeare might well have been involved with any or all of these. Also there is a reference in Henslowe's Diary that a Henry VI play was performed in 1591 by Lord Strange's Men, which suggests a connection with that company, a suggestion further enhanced by the fact that many of the charter members of The Lord Chamberlain's Men were former members of Strange's.

What was the acting companies Shakespeare was associated with in the early days?

The Quarto of Titus Andronicus says it was staged by three companies: The Earl of Derby's Men, The Earl of Pembroke's Men, and the Earl of Sussex's Men. Shakespeare might have been involved with any or all of them; he at least sold his play to one of them.


One acting company Shakespeare's in?

If you are talking about William Shakespeare, he retired from acting about 400 years ago. He was involved with several acting companies in his early career before 1594, including Derby's, Strange's and Pembroke's, but in 1594 he became a charter member of a new company called at various times Lord Hunsdon's Men, The Lord Chamberlain's Men and the King's Men, and he stayed with them until his retirement from acting.


Name one acting company that shakespeare was associated with in the early days?

Depends how early you want to go. For most of his working life he was one of The Lord Chamberlain's Men, afterwards The King's Men. But he actually did a fair amount of acting before 1594 when the Lord Chamberlain's Men was formed. We cannot be quite sure which company he was with in these early days, but Lord Strange's Men, Lord Pembroke's Men and Lord Sussex's Men are all possibilities.


Where were Shakespeare theaters made?

There is no such thing as a "Shakespeare Theatre". Shakespeare performed in theatres, and even invested some money in a couple, but he was not associated with the construction or design or ownership of theatres in his day, or even nowadays. In Shakespeare's day, the theatres in and around London were built either north of the city limits (The Theatre, The Curtain, The Fortune) or south of the river in Southwark (The Rose, The Globe, The Swan) because the city fathers would not permit the construction of a theatre in the city limits. Indoor playhouses, at first for the companies of child actors and later for adult companies were built inside the city over time. Certain Inns (such as the Bel Savage and the Cross Keys) were licenced for theatrical productions in the city in the early part of Shakespeare's career.


Shakespeare first theater company was called?

The theater company which Shakespeare most famously belonged to was called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. This was the first company that Shakespeare actually owned shares in. But it was not the first one he worked for. The Lord Chamberlain's Men was formed in 1594. By that time Shakespeare was well-established both as an actor and as a playwright, and he did it with other companies which existed before that date. But we are not sure which ones. The fact that Shakespeare's early play Titus Andronicus was played by three different companies: Pembroke's, Sussex's and Derby's (also known as Strange's) suggests that Shakespeare may have been working for one of these companies which encouraged them to try him out as a playwright.
