No, he did not. The Globe Theatre was a building. Nobody could join it. All you could do was act in it. And in any case it did not exist in 1594; it was built five years later.
What Shakespeare joined in 1594 (sort of, since he was actually a founding partner) was the acting company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men. This group of actors performed in all kinds of different theatres including the Curtain and the Theatre and, at a later date, the Globe Theatre.

∙ 12y agoYes, he must have done. Shakespeare was a regular actor with the company that was headquartered at the Globe for about fourteen years. It would be incredible if he did not act at their main theatre in that time.

∙ 10y agoShakespeare helped found one of the best acting companies in London. It started out as Lord Hunsdon's Men, changed its name to the Lord Chamberlain's Men when Hunsdon received that title, and became the King's Men when James I became their patron. The company was formed because several theater companies had folded after 1592 when all of the playhouses were closed because of plague for more than a year. Lord Hunsdon's Men tried to bring together the best actors and playwrights from the other companies. Only the Lord Admiral's Men remaind intact from before 1594, and it too absorbed members from the failed companies. By 1600, however, London supported five or six active theater companies, again.

∙ 11y agoYou could not "join" the Globe Theatre because it was a building. You cannot join the Taj Mahal or the Empire State Building either. Shakespeare's acting company was the Lord Chamberlain's Men (later called the King's Men after they changed patrons). Shakespeare and other members of the company owned the Globe Theatre. They did not join it.
Shakespeare was one of the founding members of the Lord Chamberlain's Men in 1594. There appears to have been a restructuring after the theaters were closed due to plague in 1592 and 1593. The company moved into the Globe in 1599 and became the King's Men in 1603.
