What was the name of the theater where most of Shakespeare's plays were made famous?
The Globe Theatre is the theatre most often associated with Shakespeare. However, it was not his theatre in the sense that your car is your car. He did not own it although he did have a financial interest in it. It was not the only theatre he had a financial interest in. It is far from the only theatre he acted in; he acted in many others. It was not the only place Shakespeare's plays were seen (although they were performed there) and they played lots of plays by people other than Shakespeare there. Finally, none of his contemporaries would ever have thought of the Globe as "Shakespeare's theatre"; almost certainly it would be "the Burbages' theatre."
What kinds of people visited the Globe Theatre in Shakespeare's day?
The Queen often visited the theatre and only those who paid money to get in.
