Shakespeare actually owned a share in two theatres: the Globe and the Blackfriars. Nowadays, Shakespeare is the most famous of the many people who owned or worked in those theatres, so people get the idea that he owned them all by himself or that the people who attended them would have thought of them as Shakespeare's.
In fact, Shakespeare's contemporaries would have associated both theatres with Richard Burbage, who was the most important actor in the company, much better known to the public than Shakespeare was, and owned a much larger share of the theatres, being the driving force and main financial push behind them.
It closed the theaters down because people had come to realize that close contact helped spread the disease.
Theaters in London during Shakespeare's could be both open area public theaters like the Globe theater. In these spaces, the entry fee was low but poorer audience members might be exposed to the elements. Another type of theater was private theaters such as the Blackfriars Playhouse. This type of theater catered to the well-to-do and were completed protected from the elements. The entry fee was more expensive.

Well, if you had a seat (and lots didn't) it would have been a hard wooden bench, although it would have been under a roof. If you were a bit richer you could hire a cushion. If you were richer still you could hire a seat actually on the stage.

Assuming you meant professions, Shakespeare was an actor, a poet and a playwright. He also owned shares in the acting company in which he performed and which put on his plays, and in the two theaters in which the company performed.

John and Mary Arden, Shakespeares parents, did encourage Shakespeare

I know of drama theaters, surgeon's operating theaters, movie theaters, and theaters of war. There may be others . . .
