Romeo, Benvolio, and Mercutio arrive at the party as maskers in scene 4. Romeo didn't feel like dancing because he was sad. Benvolio and Mercutio tried to motivate him. Mercutio starts talking about Queen Mab who controls dreams. Benvolio thought he was talking nonsense and they decide to go inside.
In scene 5, Capulet enters witth his cousin, Juliet, and others. He tells the women to dance with the maskers and he sits down with his cousin. Romeo sees Juliet and he can't believe how beautiful she is. Tybalt realizes that a Montague is one of the maskers. Capulet told him to leave him be and Tybalt leaves. Romeo takes Juliet's hand and kisses her. But then he found out she was a Capulet from the nurse so he leaves with Benvolio and Mercutio. Juliet finds out Romeo is a Montague from the nurse and she feels ashamed.
I think the montague maskers should all be wearing hidden masks in these scenes and be dressed up in red. Also, the capulets should be dressed up in white. I think the props should just be normal formal props from a high school dance such as decorations, music, and a dance floor.
