If you went to most playhouses and only paid a penny admission, you would watch the play from the open courtyard in front of and around the stage, which had no roof. If it rained, you got wet. If you paid tuppence admission you got to sit down under a nice roof. The actors also had a roof to keep them dry.
Some playhouses were indoors (St. Paul's, the first Blackfriars) and so nobody got wet.

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.
