What can I use for fake tears in a play?

Hi!

In the filmmaking.net forums, it's suggested that you use glycerine for fake tears: apparently you should be able to find it at any acting supply store.

Also, in a lot of movies/TV shows, they use simple saline solution.

Hope that helps!

or you could use eyedrops...

or think of something really sad like having a dog die in your arms to make you cry

Lol, yeah think of something real sad, like the price of gas. That makes me cry every time I fill up.

I do theatre make-up , the best thing to use is glycerine , but there are other alternatives like menthol tear sticks/blowers these work okish (make your eyes water *stings*), but if you want the tears to be seen under stage lighting id paint them on and then put glycerine over the top .
