If you go back in histoy William Shakespeare had men do women parts and in Japan the men did a bunch of lady lines as well. I'd say go for it you better get credit from this though and you deserve it! I ought to give you a 1000 points for wearing a dress!

Since you're only acting, of course it's worth it.

definately needed. Back in the day ALL actors were men, no women. Dressing as a chick will get u major extra credit pointz.

yeah! lmao. how much extra credit? and like people will think it's funny.

i think its quite commical, go for it! go farther if you want with make up and a wig! but thats not for me...

yea go for it. you'll capture your audience's attention. besides they'll know it's just for fun and a grade so they won't care. have fun!

yeah! just think about the extra credit. And you'll be making a funny-romantic scene hehe =D

i think u should do it but dont get caught up in the moment

HAHA
it most definitely sounds like it would be worth it
If anything, you could wear a dress over your clothes.

Good Luck!

lol ya wear a dress with a wig too

idk yu would get alot of attention from girl'sz they will deffinately laugh but in a good way lolz

That depends on how long the scene lasts if the scene is for 2 minutes don't buy a dress if it's for 10 minutes then I think you should buy a dress

sure but i don't wanna be around for the kiss YUCK!!!lol

go for it. it'll show the teacher that you are confident. plus you'll probably get a few laughs out of it.

I think you should go for it! It would be funny, and extra credit is always a good thing!

That would be very good. Make sure you aren't cracking up the entire time though because you will lose major points.

Well actually Shakespeare’s female roles were played by young boys in his time. (a little fun fact for you) As far as dressing up if you’re comfortable enough to then go for it. And by the way there’s no kiss in the BALCONY SCENE to begin with!
