In fact, Shakespeare was a founder and shareholder (co-owner) of the Lord Chamberlain's Men from 1594 on. Before that, he may have worked with one or more of the half dozen or so active theater companies: Derby's Men, Strange's Men, Pembroke's Men, or Queen Elizabeth's Men.
If you mean William Shakespeare then the theatre was called the Globe.
William Shakespeare was a minor shareholder in The Globe Theatre. He, as well as the other owners, was a member of the theatre company that played there, The Lord Chamberlain's Men later called the King's Men. Since Shakespeare was the company playwright, all of his plays were played by that company and often at that theatre (but not always)
Shakespeare did not have a theatre in Stratford. There's one there now, The Royal Shakespeare Theatre where the Royal Shakespeare Company plays, but there wasn't one in Shakespeare's day.
From 1594 to his retirement from the world of the theatre, Shakespeare worked with the same theatre company, first called the Lord Chamberlain's Men and later the King's Men. The leader of the company was Richard Burbage.
William Shakespeare did not change his name. His acting company did, however, change its name. His Theatre Company was originally called "The Lord Chamberlain's Men" after the Lord Chamberlain, an official responsible for theatres and other public entertainment. After the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603 the company was granted a charter by the new King, James I, and the company changed its name to The King's Men.

A theatre is a building and a person cannot become part of a building. What, do you think Shakespeare was a door or a railing? Shakespeare was part of a Theatrical Company, that is to say, a group of actors, called the Lord Chamberlain's Men and later The King's Men.
The theatre most associated with William Shakespeare was the Globe Theatre in London. It was built by Shakespeare's play company to showcase his plays. After it was destroyed by fire, a second Globe Theatre was built on the same location. More here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe_Theatre

The Globe Theatre The original Globe Theatre in London, England, was built in 1599 by the Lord Chamberlain's Men - a theatre company which included William Shakespeare. It was destroyed by a fire in 1613, rebuilt in 1614 and finally demolished in 1644. In 1997 a replica of the original theatre was built, close to the original site and is called Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
William Shakespeare mainly worked for and later part-owned a theatre company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men. The company was sponsored by the same person whose name it bore. The company operated principally out of theatres in London, or rather in the suburbs of London since large theatres were not allowed in the city itself.
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.
The playwright company that William Sakespeare went to was called the Lord Chamberlain's men.
