This is a question Nativity Plays

Every year the little kids at schools all over get to put on a play. Often it's christmas themed, but the key thing is that everyone gets a part, whether it's Snowflake #12 or Mary or Grendel (yes, really).

Personally I played a 'Rich Husband' who refused to buy matches from some scabby street urchin. Never did see her again...

Who or what did you get to be? And what did you have to wear?

Nativity plays (gingerphobic bastards)
So i remember when i was a wee lad growing up in my primary school in Aberdeen. Now i was in a big primary school, i think there was about 400 of us (damn John Majors fault). So the nativity was a big thing, but the lead parts only usually went to the 6th and 7th years as they where the oldest. Well after i was put in the choir for the nativity for an impressive 6 years in a row, i finally thought they would cast me. But alas nope they refused to. I distinctly remember wanting to be the leader of the three kings. I had to audition in front of our drama teacher (a sweet old lady named Miss Lamb), our janitor (the Jannie) and our head teacher (bitch!). So i read my lines and waited for the response, and though i was sure the head didn't me to hear this her words have haunted me to this day.
This is what she turned to the janitor and said "we can't really have an ugly ginger boy in the play can we".

Yes i actually heard this. So as usual all the sweet looking "normal" coloured haired boys got cast as the kings and Sheppards. But at least they let me play the in keeper that year (you see my ugly gingerness was hidden behind a cardboard set for my scene).

And worst of all when i told my mum this she told me to stop making stuff up and be glad i got a small part.

Trust me i never had a complex before then, it took me years to shake it off.

What's with the Brits and red hair?
No one really thinks about hair color here in the US (not that w3e are not prejudiced against every other living thing in the world that is a slight bit different from us).
