I'd was going to create a very strongly constructed argument against your position; but then I got high.

wear a skirt, cute, colorful and knee length, and a cute top, like something 3/4 sleeve. casual but cute and sorta dressy. kitten heels too. unless its liek, a highschool play. then jeans. then again, i wear jeans to just about everything. i think jeans can go almost everywhere if they are nice dark ones with heels and a cute shirt
wait a sec, who is the boy? details, please.
It doesn't matter. If you're going on a date and want to look nice, then make yourself look nice. Last play I went to I just wore shorts and t-shirt along with 80% of the audience.
The broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes... Adolf Hitler

Is it a play for your school or a real play? (not that school plays are fake, but you know what i mean)
If it's at a fancy theatre, i would just wear something nice. I think the ballgown gloves would be a little too much - opera? maybe. Play? Overdressed.
I think Hayley's advice was good. A nice skirt with a cute blouse should do it. Last time i went to a play type thing i went overdressed and felt stupid.

Always better to be overdressed than underdressed usually the more exspensive the play the more fancier the dress
When it comes to pink butterflies i could give a flying fuck.
Theatres generally have a dress code on their website. Check that out.
As a general rule, you are looking at business casual.

All acceptable
I've been to a few plays, especially in freshman year of college, and none of them required really nice dress. One I went to in the city, at a really respectable place, had a lot of people in just casual attire. Being overdressed made one upper class couple stand out at that one, and they looked pretty embarrassed. But you don't have to be ashamed about having no clue, or for not having been to a play before, since most people don't attend plays anyway (so you're in the norm). Just ask the guy where it is, and what kind of place it is, if you're really unsure. This'll give you the feel of whether or not it's in some wealthy area, or if it's an average town hall that does plays ever so often. You don't have to say, "Hi, I got no idea what a play be, or what to wear to dem things..."
Just ask him what he plans to wear, or something like that (and it's also an excuse to talk to him). I was just as nervous as you are when I went to one of these things, and it wasn't even a date, so if you explain to the guy that it's your first play, he should understand. If he comes across the wrong way about it, then you'll know he's a jerk.
Most important of all, have fun on the date, Angel.
well, i did ask him, and he said he's just going to wear jeans and a dress shirt. and i asked one of my co-workers, told her what i thought about wearing, and she sid it was perfect for the theater i was going to. ima wear some dark wash jeans and this cute oriental inspired shirt. if i had a pic, i would should you. but i don't. but maybe i can get a pic this evening and show ya'll. and maybe i can get a pic of him too. woot!

ooooh fun, have fun!!!!
I went on a date last weekend, and I TOTALLY outdressed him, and it was weird. like, I had 4" peeptoe leopard heels, fishnets, lil black dress, did my hair, wore BRIGHT red lipstick, did cat eyes- whole fuckin 9. and he shows up in cords and a dressy shirt. I'm like 'wtf? you said we were dressing up!'
I'd even told him I'm that girl that wears old prom dresses to shoot pool in. whatever 'that girl' means, I thought I made it clear, but he clearly didn't get it.
SO cheers to figuring on casual, it sucks to feel over dressed when you don't have a partner in crime, it's like you come off as snotty and uppity or something. I was uncomfortable. I switched to flip flops, myself.
what play are you seeing?
'Cause I'm that fool that broke the key- I'm unlockable so don't check me- I got weight on my shoulders and things on my mind- The sky is falling and I'm falling behind... No shame in my game just par for the path- I try to hone my craft because at hand's the task- But I find I'm not playing with a full deck- I'm up to my neck like Toulouse Lautrec
we're gunna go see Mother Courage. i feel like a tard cause i don't know what they play is about... my i looked it up on sparknotes, so i have a little bit of an idea what it's about... so i don't feel so stupid.
