A groundling
it was named the globe theatre because thats what they wanted to call it.... it was destroyed cause people got mad and burned the wasteful building down...
The wooden O.
They did it outside.
The Bard
Because the globe burned down, they re-named it again. The reason why is because Shakespeare had done aloud of plays and Globe is the equivalent to lots of.

The theatre most often associated with William Shakespeare is the The Globe Theatre, which opened in 1599 in Southwark, London. At that time Shakespeare had already established himself as an actor and playwright. Shakespeare previously acted in a number of theatres in Shoreditch and Southwark such as the Curtain, the Rose, Newington Butts, and The Theatre prior to the Globe being constructed. These theatres were roughly circular in shape with an open roof, which led to the Curtain being called the "Wooden O" in Shakespeare's play Henry V. The Theatre was the first successful purpose-built playhouse in London, and the Globe was the first such playhouse to be built by an acting company. The timber frame of the Globe came from the older theatre The Theatre in Shoreditch, which was demolished following a dispute with the landlord. The original Globe burned down in 1613, following an accident with on-stage pyrotechnics, and was rebuilt in 1614. It was finally closed down in 1642, and demolished in 1644 to make way for housing. Later in Shakespeare's career, he and his acting company, the Kings Men, performed at The Blackfriars Theatre (an indoor theatre) in the winter and at The Globe in summer. Shakespeare had a share in both theatres but he was not in charge of managing either of them. A replica of The Globe has been built in London near the original site using traditional techniques. The modern Globe was finished in 1997. This is the only theatre which you can actually call "Shakespeare's Globe".
I take it you are asking whether all of the theatre companies in Shakespeare's day had a theatre which they could call their home base. Any theatre company could hire a theatre for one performance, but it was useful to be the only company using a particular theatre. For one thing, you could store your costumes and scripts there. Only three companies had this advantage: The Lord Chamberlain's (First, the Theatre, then the Curtain, then the Globe, then the Globe and Blackfriars), The Lord Admiral's (The Rose and later the Fortune), and Worcester's (The Red Bull). Other companies had to play either in a rented theatre, private homes, public halls or inns, as became convenient.
