In 1594 Shakespeare invested as a co-owner of the acting company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men which later changed its name to the King's Men. In 1599, he invested as a co-owner in the Globe, a public playhouse, and in 1608 he invested in a private playhouse called Blackfriars.

One share (12.5%) in the Globe Theatre. Likely others, but there isn't really any evidence in existence any more.

Why was shakespeare theatre closed in 1592and what happend to it in 1613?

There was no "Shakespeare Theatre" in either 1592 or 1613. Shakespeare did not own any part of any theatre until 1599. In 1599, Shakespeare's associates Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, who did own a theatre, wanted to build a new theatre to solve some of their legal problems. They therefore arranged to use parts of their old theatre to build the new one, but they needed some cash to buy supplies. Enter Shakespeare and some other guys who put some money into the Burbages' new theatre in exchange for a cut of the profits. It was this new theatre, the Globe Theatre, which burned down on June 29, 1613 during the performance of one of Shakespeare's plays. To the people back then, the Globe would have been the "Burbage Theatre" since Richard Burbage was more famous than Shakespeare and actually owned a large chunk of it.

How was William Shakespeare theatre destroyed?

If there was a theatre called "William Shakespeare Theatre", you will have to be a little more specific. Was there such a theatre built in Akron, Ohio in the 1930s? Or in Calcutta in the 1890s? If the theatre you are talking about is "Shakespeare's Globe Theatre", it is still standing, having been built in 1997. If the theatre you are talking about is the Blackfriars Theatre, in which Shakespeare acted and held a small share, it was demolished in 1655. If the theatre you are talking about is the First Globe Theatre, in which Shakespeare also acted and held a small share, it burned down on June 29, 1613. If the theatre you are talking about is the Second Globe Theatre, which was built to replace the first one in 1614, and which might have had nothing to do with Shakespeare, it was torn down in 1644.


What did Shakespeare steal to build The Globe?

1. Shakespeare did not built the Globe Theatre. A man called Peter Street built it. Shakespeare was not a carpenter. 2. Shakespeare did not put up all of the money to build the Globe. He did not even put up most of the money to build it. He put up a lot less than other people, about one-eighth all told. 3. Shakespeare stole nothing in connection with the building of the Globe. 4. Neither did Richard and Cuthbert Burbage (the guys who actually paid for the theatre to be built). They took the timbers from their old theatre, The Theatre, and moved them to a new site. Their landlord sued them but he lost: the court held that The Theatre belonged to the Burbages and it wasn't stealing to take it off of the landlord's land.
