What did William shakespeare change the theatre name later to and why?

None of the theatres Shakespeare was involved in changed their names.


What acting companies did Shakespeare get involved with throughout his career?

Just one, Richard Burbage's company. They started out as the Lord Chamberlain's Men but changed patrons and names to the King's Men. They were still the same company though.


What are the pen names of William Shakespeare?

Shakespeare had no pen names.


How were the names of William Shakespeare's two acting companies chosen?

Just to make it clear, Shakespeare was associated with only one acting company for almost all of his career. It was the only company he was actually a partner in. But it did have two names. The reason for this is that the names for acting companies in Shakespeare's day were never chosen by anyone. It's not like nowadays where if you start an acting company you can call it anything you want. In those days the name of your company was the name of your patron. Period. If you changed patron, or if the patron changed his name or his job, your company's name would change, and you had nothing to say about it. If a group of actors in Shakespeare's day tried to say "We're the Happy Day Players", they would get a visit from the police who would say "Happy Day Players, eh? That means you have no patron" and throw them all in jail.


What are the King's Men or Chamberlain's Men?

They are two names for the acting company that William Shakespeare was part of. It was called the Lord Chamberlain's Men 1594-1603 and The King's Men after 1603.
