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.
The Globe Theatre was a theatre in London associated with William Shakespeare. It was built in 1599 by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and was destroyed by fire on 29 June 1613. A second Globe Theatre was built on the same site by June 1614 and closed in 1642. But neither of those theatres is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Shakespeare's Globe Theatre was built in 1997 on a site very close to the site of the original Globe, which it imitates in many respects.
The theatre most commonly associated with William Shakespeare is the Globe Theatre, which opened in 1599. Located on the south bank of the River Thames in London, it was built by Shakespeare's playing company, the Lord Chamberlain's Men. The Globe became the primary venue for many of Shakespeare's plays, showcasing his work to a diverse audience until it was closed in 1642. The original theatre was reconstructed in 1997 and serves as a modern tribute to Shakespeare's legacy.

From time to time while William Shakespeare was working, the authorities would order that all theatres be closed as a health measure due to outbreaks of the plague. It was thought that a lot of people squeezed in together would help spread the disease (this was true, but strangely enough they did not close the churches which also squeezed a lot of people in together). These closures affected most of the theatres that Shakespeare worked in from time to time: the Theatre, Curtain, Globe and Blackfriars. We have a record that he was acting in the Newington Butts Theatre in 1594 because the Theatre and Curtain were closed for plague. Theatres were also closed for political reasons. The notorious play the Isle of Dogs caused the Swan Theatre to be closed because of its controversial content. Twenty-five years after Shakespeare died, all of the theatres in the country were closed for political reasons under the regime of the Puritans.
The Globe theatre was closed down in 1642 by the Puritans. It was demolished in 1644-45.
There is no one theatre which can be identified as "Shakespeare's theatre". Shakespeare performed in a number of different theatres, although most particularly in the two he owned a share in. In any case, the main reasons for theatre closures applied to all the theatres whether they had something to do with Shakespeare or not. There were two of these: all London theatres were periodically closed for a relatively short time for health reasons, and all London theatres were permanently closed in 1642 by law.

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, originally built in 1599, was a pivotal venue for his plays. It was destroyed by fire in 1613 during a performance of "Henry VIII" but was quickly rebuilt in 1614. The theatre continued to operate until it was closed in 1642 by the Puritans and later demolished in 1644. A modern reconstruction, known as "Shakespeare's Globe," was opened in 1997 near the original site in London.
Shakespeare performed in a number of Theatres. Before 1594, he may have been with Lord Strange's Men when they played Titus Andronicus at the Rose. After 1594, when the Lord Chamberlain's Men were formed, they performed at the Theatre until it was closed, then at The Curtain until the Globe was built in 1599. Shakespeare's plays were also played at the Blackfriars after 1608. Many people do not understand that Shakespeare had already completed one-third of his career before the Globe Theatre was even built.
Shakespeare was primarily associated with the Globe Theatre, which was rebuilt multiple times due to fire and other issues. The original Globe, built in 1599, burned down in 1613 during a performance but was quickly rebuilt in 1614. It was later closed by the Puritans in 1642 and ultimately demolished in 1644. Shakespeare's involvement in rebuilding was part of his role as a shareholder and playwright, ensuring the theatre remained a prominent venue for his works.
There was a big fire on stage and the theater being make on wood and sticks burned really fast. There was only one entrance and exit so it was hard to get everyone out. There was no recorded death toll
