No theatres from Shakespeare's time are in use today. They were all taken down before the 17th century was out. The Red Bull Theatre (which had nothing to do with Shakespeare) was probably the last to go.

∙ 11y agoIn Shakespeare's day, theatres had a thrust stage, that is, a stage with audience on three sides. During the Commonwealth these theatres were mostly torn down and the new ones built after the Restoration tended to be proscenium stages, with audience on only one side. Only in the twentieth century have theatre designers increasingly returned to the thrust stage design. Nowadays theatres are more like they were in Shakespeare's day than they were a hundred years ago.
The main change in theatres is in lighting. In Shakespeare's time the stage was lit with natural lights or candlelights, neither of which allowed for much flexibility in performance. Today, with banks and banks of powerful stage lights, usually computer controlled even in amateur theatres, many complex lighting effects can be achieved. So great a tool is modern lighting design that in many productions (especially of plays where the setting changes frequently) the lighting takes the place of the elaborate sets which were the keynote of the Victorian theatre. It is lighting which has allowed the theatre to return to the simpler stage dressings that the Elizabethan theatre used.

What is the name of the theater in which shakespeare performed his plays and was partial owner?
Shakespeare did not build any theatres. He was not a builder. He did not arrange for any theatres to be built either. When his friends Richard and Cuthbert Burbage found that there were legal problems with using the theatre (called The Theatre) which their father had left them in his will, they had it dismantled and moved the main timbers south of the River Thames, where they were handed over to the builder Peter Street. However, the new theatre needed plaster and flooring and a number of other things which could not be brought from the old theatre, and the Burbages did not have enough to pay. They turned to the actors in their company and offered them shares in the profits of the theatre in exchange for an investment. Four members of the company stepped up to the bar with money and got a share in the theatre, which was called the Globe Theatre, as a result. Shakespeare's share was 12.5%. When the Burbages refurbished their indoor theatre the Blackfriars Shakespeare bought into that as well.

Were did the term box office come from?
At the front and center of theatres was the box office. Literally, an office the size of a box where you would buy your ticket. You can still see box offices in older theatres. As well, many modern theatres still use the same structure. Therefore, if a movie was a "box office blowout," then it sold out the ticket stand.
