No. He wrote a number of plays before the Globe was built in 1599, including such well-known plays as Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Richard III.

There is probably no one theatre where all of Shakespeare's plays were performed. You may be thinking of the Globe Theatre. The Globe Theatre was built in 1599 and probably saw all of the plays Shakespeare wrote after that date. But Shakespeare had already been a playwright for seven or eight years before the Globe was built. If any of his plays written before 1599 were played at the Globe they would have to have been revivals. Some of his old plays may have been revived, but all of them? Unlikely.

What did William Shakespeare accomplish?
He performed with a group called the Lord Chamberlain's Men. They were very popular and everybody, including Queen Elizabeth the First, came to watch them. In 1597, they built our own theatre called 'The Globe'. As well as acting, William wrote most of the plays they performed. He wrote about comedy, tragedy and history. His plays are all great stories that include many of the most famous words ever written. He also wrote many poems. His 28 plays, two long poems and 154 shorter poems have been performed and read ever since in every country in the world.
Why was Shakespeare so fond of the Globe as to write most of his plays for its stage?
He did not. Shakespeare's writing career went from about 1590 to 1613, and the Globe Theatre was built in 1599. Before the Globe was built, Shakespeare wrote nine of his ten history plays, eight comedies including The Merchant of Venice, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Much Ado About Nothing, and the Tragedies Titus Andronicus and Romeo and Juliet. That's nineteen of the thirty-eight plays he is generally credited with which were not written for performance at the Globe; about half of his works. Shakespeare was not particularly "fond of" the Globe. It was the theatre at which his company primarily performed. Although state-of-the-art when it was built, it was quickly superseded by The Fortune, but remained an excellent venue and suitable for their performances. After 1608, the company acquired the use of a second, indoor theatre called the Blackfriars. Some scholars think that some plays (such as Macbeth) were written with the Blackfriars rather than the Globe in mind.
