Why did average people of Shakespeare's time like the theater?

It was entertaining. The authors of the plays wrote the kind of material that their audiences would like--they had to, or their actors would be booed off the stage. So the plays would be different for different audiences. A play like Titus Andronicus or The Spanish Tragedy with lots of gore and shock scenes would appeal to the same demographic as the Saw Movies do today. A romantic comedy like Much Ado About Nothing would appeal to the same group as a film like You've Got Mail. Henry V would appeal to the action movie crowd. Some plays, like Love's Labour's Lost or Satiromastix, were clearly written for a highbrow crowd like that found at court. Audiences don't change much; people from today enjoy Shakespeare's plays too, provided they are the right plays.
