Entertainment facilities weren't allowed inside the City of London - instead they had to be outside the outskirts. It was considered "rougher" because a lot of the poor people were to be found there.

How many theatres were in London during Shakespeare's time?
Theatres were constantly being built and being destroyed so the number changed from time to time. The Theatre was closed in 1596 and taken down in 1599 when its parts were used to build The Globe in a different part of London. The Rose was an older and smaller theatre which had been partly expanded. The Admiral's Men, who played there, built the much larger Fortune theatre and moved, which led to the decline of the Rose and its eventual demolition. The Globe burned down in 1613 and was not rebuilt until the next year. Some of the theatres which were around in Shakespeare's time were The Theatre, The Curtain, The Rose, The Swan, The Globe, The Fortune, The Hope (or bear garden), Newington Butts, the Blackfriars (there were actually two theatres by this name at different times), and St. Paul's. There were also a number of innyards used regularly for plays (4 or 5 that we know the names of).
Who performed plays in England before theatres were built?
In 1567 the first purpose-built theatre in England was built. Before that time, acting companies had to go on tour and play on such makeshift stages as might be available, in rich people's houses, town halls and innyards. Innyard theatres, which continued in operation well into the 1600s, were the model for the early playhouses. Most acting companies continued to play in such makeshift spaces even after the purpose-built theatres were built because there were many more companies than theatres. Even nowadays, acting companies on tour will play anywhere they can set up. That tradition is far from dead.

Why did local officials try to close theaters in shakespeare's time?
Some of them thought that the content of the plays caused immorality, although they were censored by the Master of the Revels. Some of them thought they provided a great opportunity for pickpockets. They were associated with prostitutes and other low-lifes because they were not allowed to set up theatres in respectable parts of town. Many people thought bringing people together like that was a way to spread disease, so the theatres were often closed when there was a plague epidemic.
