Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It depends on the play, and how old the actors are!.

In middle school, no one ever kissed!.
Highschool, if there is a kissing scene, then it's usually brief and just a 1-2 second lip to lip!.

On Broadway, if there's a kissing scene, then yeah, the actors and actress are going to kiss!. Whether it's passionate or just a peck!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

In professional and college plays, the kisses are real!. Sometimes in high school the teacher will have you fake it!. I was in a college play last month and there were two very real kisses!. I also saw a play with full frontal male and female nudity!. It's very common, but not usually in plays where kids are present!. I was supposed to have a kiss in the play, but i told the director that my boyfriend wasn't cool with it and she said i didnt have to!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

To keep the realism, if the scene calls for lip to lip, they do, indeed kiss!. Remember, just because an audience is a distance away does not mean that the actors can convey that intimacy in their body language IF it isn't real!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If it's professional, they do!. They're presenting a reality to you, so they have to make it seem real!.

Amateurs might fake it!. Especially if you know your audience or you're doing a old/younger kiss where there's an age gap!.

I know there have been real kisses in a few of the plays at my high school!.!.!. last year we did Our Town, and the female lead was dating the male lead's best friend!.!.!. apparently the kissing scene was pretty awkward!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Both, mostly they actually kiss to get the more realistic effect!.

But it depends on what kind of play it is , whether its important or just a little class drama scene!.
