Teenagers at a Shakespeare Festival?

What would be a good plan/idea/marketing scheme to get teens ages 13-early twenties to go to an ';authentic'; Elizabethan age Shakespeare Festival? In other words, what things did people do back in Shakespeares time that would appeal to teenagers in the present?Teenagers at a Shakespeare Festival?
Well I'm a teenager and I love Shakespeare, and I live in MAryland which always has an annual Renaissance Festival, and they have everything from jousting to witchcraft and potions stores, and awesome food (turkey legs!!!) and making flower-head thingys, finding your weight in terms of bags of oats, they have singing, dancing, comedy, sword swallowing, fire blowing, magic tricks, pony rides, petting zoo, you name it!Teenagers at a Shakespeare Festival?
Did you think about seeing if you can do a performance of the Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged? This play is a lot of fun and would appeal to teens.
