No, not unless you count Shakespeare's Globe Theatre which was built in 1997. Women in England did not act on stage until 1660. The first Globe burned down in 1613 and the second one was torn down in 1644.

No, women were not allowed to act on stage during Shakespeare's time. In the late 16th and early 17th centuries, English law and societal norms prohibited women from performing in public theater. Instead, young boys or men would take on female roles, often portraying them with exaggerated femininity. This practice continued until the Restoration in 1660 when women were finally permitted to act professionally on stage.

It was unlawful for women to appear on stage in Shakespeare's day. (People couldn't imagine women getting on stage except for some kind of striptease) The women's parts in all plays performed before 1660 in England, whether by Shakespeare or by one of the many other paywrights of the day, were played by boys.
