What theater group did Shakespeare work with?

Shakespeare spent most of his career with the theatre group called The Lord Chamberlain's Men and later The King's Men, where he worked as an actor and playwright.


Did shakespeare write his plays for a reason?

Of course. It was his job. He was the house playwright for the theatre group he belonged to, the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later the King's Men.


Why did the lord chamberlains theatre change to the kings men theatre in 1594?

It didn't. The Lord Chamberlain's Men was not a theatre. It was a company of actors and other men who put on plays. They were formed in 1594. They took their name from their patron--by law, acting companies of this kind had to have a patron--who was the Lord Chamberlain. In 1603, they got a new patron and a new name, although it was still the same group of actors. Their new patron was King James I, and so their new name was The King's Men. There never was such a thing as the King's Men Theatre.

What theater company did William Shakespeare belong to after 1594?

The Lord Chamberlain's Men was formed in 1594 and Shakespeare was one of its charter members, so he didn't actually join it. He had by that time already written a few plays and was an actor. Later, under King James I, the Lord Chamberlain's men changed their name to the King's Men. This company did not own the Globe Theatre or any theatre; that was a different group of partners, one of whom was also Shakespeare.

What theatre did shakespeare spend 5 years working for its theatre group and saving enough to make an important investment?

A theatre is not the same thing as a theatre group. Shakespeare invested in a theatre group in 1594 when he was made a partner of the company called The Lord Chamberlain's Men. Five years later, the senior partners in the company, Richard and Cuthbert Burbage inherited the playhouses The Theatre and The Curtain from their father. The Curtain was the theatre habitually used by The Lord Chamberlain's Men, and, for complicated legal reasons, they couldn't use The Theatre. The Burbages planned to build a new theatre in a different part of London, using the timbers from The Theatre which they couldn't use anyway. However, they didn't have quite enough cash to do this so they asked some of the members of the Chamberlain's Men to contribute. One of these was Shakespeare. It is misleading to suggest that Shakespeare had spent those five years saving his pennies for the particular purpose of contributing to the building costs of a new theatre. He had no idea that such an opportunity would come up. But when it did come up, he was too shrewd a businessman to let it go.
