Not at all. It's a kiss, it's just a job, ultimately it's just for the play, and for nothing more, I imagine. So I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't see it as cheating. Same goes for TV, movies, musicals, music videos.
Now, if it were something more hardcore, like unsimulated sex, be it live on stage, Pornography, or in a movie (there are some movies out there, outside of Pornography, that have very real, unsimulated sex.) then yeah, I would have much more of a problem with it. I don't imagine my girl would be OK with me having sex with someone else, and I don't think I'd be comfortable the other way around.*
( * Threesomes, group sex, CAN be OK, but that's up to the individual couples. Also open or polygamous relationships make it OK, but that's a different topic, altogether, and much like with the former with threesomes and group sex, it's up to the couple. Really though, I'm interpreting your question as though you're talking about two people in a monogamous relationship. )
All in all, though, Kissing someone in a play, or some other form of performing arts, is not cheating. I don't see it as such. Some might disagree, but they're not me.

Please note that this is only my opinion, though it is a very strong one that I feel is supported by strong fact. Take it as you will.
Kissing someone in a play is like being in the military: You volunteered for the part, now you have to do your duty. If, in the script, it is stated that two characters must kiss, then it is merely part of the role you play. Regardless of whether you have feelings for the other actor/actress you must kiss them for the show to go on. If you don't have a choice in the matter, there is no way around it, and it is only taking place in the confines of the production, then no. It is not cheating. Now, if you were to go with the other actor/actress and "practice kissing," that would be debatable. But it is not a choice.
I feel qualified to answer this based on my experience in theater productions, I am a thespian, and I have been in similar situations as this one. I hope my answer helped you.
No. I've been doing musical theater for almost my entire life and I started getting kissing roles in high school. It really doesn't mean anything. Your director tells you exactly how to make it aesthetically pleasing to the audience -- that's the objective. It doesn't even feel that good because they're more concerned with making it pretty than making it fun. I remember when I was a sophomore I had to kiss a girl's boyfriend in a play and the bitch was totally nasty to me before, during, and after the show's running dates. She even slapped me after the first showing. Not every stage partner's S.O. has been rude to me, though. Most are pretty understanding. If you're in theater and are doing kissing scenes, don't date someone who's insecure. And if you're insecure, don't date an actor. Or don't date anyone until you learn to be more confident.
not as long as it's just acting. It's really a matter of honor... if you kiss them with absolutely no meaning and only because you have to, it's no problem, as long as you aren't hiding it from your boy/girlfriend. If you secretly enjoy the kiss and actually meant it/dwelt on it/whatever, I think that's cheating.
No, I wouldn't consider that cheating. I did some acting in high school and I know that kissing scenes aren't a big deal.

Technically yes. If you're going to be trying out for parts like that let him know and see what he thinks... If he's fine with it whatever... You are still kissing other people though, so if he pulls some crap like ah I was drunk and kissed this girl at a party, I guess you'll have to let it slide as well...
It's not cheating, it's just something that comes with the job. But if they really have something going on, then that would be cheating.
Not at all. It's part of the job and it's acting, not real life. However, you should tell your partner about it.
short answer no, it just depends on what your partner considers cheating. Some p*rn stars are married and still preform without their significant other considering it cheating. So it's a matter of perception thing.
Nope, all's it is, is just two actors/actresses doing a harmless kissing in a scene. Some one may see it as cheating, if their partner never told them about the kissing scene and they found out about it on their own.
No, because it's just acting. It's just a part of the job, to pretend.
It's not cheating unless you guys are really really kissing.
:)No because it is only an act. just like artistes they have to perform intimacy acts but that isn't real , it is part of the job requirements
No, unless you end up liking that person. If it's a play it's part of the role, just some acting.
No. If that were the case we'd have no Actors or romance movies.
I think it is cheating in my opinion, someone else my think it's not but if you're in a relationship with someone then like you shouldn't do something like that because you are together with that person and that person only.
No.
I still wouldn't want my girl doing it, though.
Might as well be a p*rn star too as they're "actors."No it's acting which is really pretending. I'd know that it would be real with me :)
I don't think so. It's part of a play.
Not really...if you're acting,then no.
No, it's acting.
