DO YOUR OWN PROJECT!!!!!!

One of the first theaters was is in Rome

Oh come on man...Really? You must be in public school eh?

Too lazy to google it yourself?

Hamlet and other of Shakespeare's plays were performed at the Globe Theatre in London. Here's a good account of this historic theatre:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globe_theat...

I'll give you a clue, it starts with the same letter that will contain all the research you'll need for your project: GOOGLE.

This is actually a rather difficult question. The first performance of "Hamlet" is unknown. Although there is story of it being performed aboard the ship Red Dragon off the coast of Sierra Leone. It was then performed around the country shortly after Shakespeare's death. I think, although I am not certain that you are actually wanting information on the "Globe Theatre" built in 1599 and owned by the acting troupe that Shakespeare belonged to "Lord Chamberlain's Men" it was destroyed (by a fire I think) in the summer of 1613. It was rebuilt the following year and was open until 1642. When closed down by the Puritans. Hope this helps.
