The Globe Theatre was built in 1599. It was destroyed by fire in 1613, and rebuilt with modern construction techniques in 1997.
Although Shakespeare invested in the Globe (as well as the Blackfriars Theatre) he did not build it.

∙ 12y agoShakespeare did not "help build" the Globe Theatre in the sense of hammering nails or spreading plaster. He contributed money toward the cost of building it, about an eighth share. The Burbage brothers Richard and Cuthbert contributed half of the cost between them.
Shakespeare also had a share in the Blackfriars Theatre, but it was already in use as a theatre when Shakespeare bought into it in 1608. The Burbages' father paid for its conversion from a hall in a monastery (it was the room where the divorce trial of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon took place) out of his own pocket.

∙ 11y agoShakespeare did not really "help build" any theatre. That conjures up visions of him hammering nails and plastering walls. He did no such thing. He also did not approve any building plans himself, negotiate with any contractors, or pay any expenses in connection with the building of any theatres. What did happen is that his friend Burbage came up to him and said, "Will, I'll tell you what. How would you like to buy a share in a theatre? If you pay x pounds, you'll get 12.5 % of the profit." And Shakespeare said yes and paid him the money. This happened twice, with the Globe Theatre and the Blackfriars Theatre. However, Burbage sold Shakespeare a share in the Globe while it was being built and a share in the Blackfriars after it had already been converted into a theatre.
Shakespeare acted in both of the theatres he owned a share in.

∙ 10y agoYou do know, don't you, that Shakespeare didn't "help build" anything except to the extent that he gave money to the guy who was building it in exchange for a cut of the profits. He did this twice: the first time the theatre was being pretty much built new using recycled materials and the second time they renovated an older building. The first one was in Southwark, the second in Blackfriars, the westernmost part of the City of London.

Why was shakespeare theatre closed in 1592and what happend to it in 1613?
There was no "Shakespeare Theatre" in either 1592 or 1613. Shakespeare did not own any part of any theatre until 1599. In 1599, Shakespeare's associates Richard and Cuthbert Burbage, who did own a theatre, wanted to build a new theatre to solve some of their legal problems. They therefore arranged to use parts of their old theatre to build the new one, but they needed some cash to buy supplies. Enter Shakespeare and some other guys who put some money into the Burbages' new theatre in exchange for a cut of the profits. It was this new theatre, the Globe Theatre, which burned down on June 29, 1613 during the performance of one of Shakespeare's plays. To the people back then, the Globe would have been the "Burbage Theatre" since Richard Burbage was more famous than Shakespeare and actually owned a large chunk of it.

What was the name of the theater from which came the lumber used to build Shakespeare's theater?
If by "Shakespeare's Theatre" you mean the Globe Theatre (which was only partly owned by Shakespeare, and which was not built by him), the lumber was salvaged from the earlier playhouse The Theatre. This was an ok name for it, since these buildings were called "playhouses" at the time, not "theatres".
