In the mid–late 1590s, Shakespeare worked as an actor, and he was a managing partner in the London theater company known as the Lord Chamberlain’s Men. The Privy Council created this company in 1594. In 1603, James I gave the company a royal patent, after which it became known as the King’s Men. Shakespeare continued to perform there in the early 1600s; he usually played minor roles in his own plays. It is possible that in the early 1590s he may have performed with other companies as well, such as Pembroke’s Men and Derby’s Men.
The Globe Theater became the primary place where the King's Men staged Shakespeare works from 1599 on. In 1608, the company acquired the Blackfriars Theater, a smaller theater than the Globe with more costly tickets. The Globe burned down in 1613.
