Shakespeare did not join a theater company in 1534. He wasn't born until 1564. In 1594, he joined a theater club called Lord Chamberlain's Men.
In 1594, Shakespeare became a member of the Lord Chamberlain's Men, a prominent theater company in London. This company was patronized by the Lord Chamberlain, and it quickly gained fame for its performances at The Theatre and later at the Globe Theatre. Shakespeare's association with this company significantly contributed to his success as a playwright and actor.
The company with which Shakespeare was associated was variously called Lord Hunsdon's Men (1594), Lord Chamberlain's Men (1594-1603), and the King's Men (1603-1642).
The Lord Chamberlain's Men was formed in 1594 and Shakespeare was one of its charter members, so he didn't actually join it. He had by that time already written a few plays and was an actor. Later, under King James I, the Lord Chamberlain's men changed their name to the King's Men. This company did not own the Globe Theatre or any theatre; that was a different group of partners, one of whom was also Shakespeare.
