Interesting endeavour. I'm very active in my town's community theater and we just recently presented The Crucible. One of our tactics to increase attendance was to make an agreement with the local High School. We severely reduced ticket prices for students (who are studying the play as a requirement anyway), and the Teachers agreed to credit the students, grade-wise.
Of course, to make sure the students weren't just buying tickets and then slipping out, the teachers required at least 3 actor signatures on the playbill.
If you can't entice 'em, force 'em.
Oh, and yeah--Great word.
