The Chamberlain's Men
Shakespeare did not join a theater company in 1534. He wasn't born until 1564. In 1594, he joined a theater club called Lord Chamberlain's Men.
None. This was fifty years before he was born. Nor did he ever "join a theatre". A theatre is a building you put on plays in--you cannot join it any more than you can join a bridge or a warehouse. What Shakespeare joined was an acting company, called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and he did it when the company formed in 1594 (he was a charter member), eighty years after the date you propose.
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.
No, he did not. The Globe Theatre was a building. Nobody could join it. All you could do was act in it. And in any case it did not exist in 1594; it was built five years later. What Shakespeare joined in 1594 (sort of, since he was actually a founding partner) was the acting company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men. This group of actors performed in all kinds of different theatres including the Curtain and the Theatre and, at a later date, the Globe Theatre.

In fact, Shakespeare was a founder and shareholder (co-owner) of the Lord Chamberlain's Men from 1594 on. Before that, he may have worked with one or more of the half dozen or so active theater companies: Derby's Men, Strange's Men, Pembroke's Men, or Queen Elizabeth's Men.
