Nativity PlaysEvery 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?

Be still my beating heartI really fancied this girl at school but she had a boyfriend. They were given the leading roles in the school's production of Romeo and Juliet whereas I was given the lighting job. I'd learnt the whole play off by heart hoping for a chance to get a part just so that I could be close to her.
One day they had a bitter row and he walked out not just on her but on the play aswell. The drama teacher was horrified, the opening night was only two days away.
"I can do it" I offered. A few sniggers came from the assembled cast. "Don't be ridiculous Stopme, how are you going to learn the role in two days?" she asked. I thrust the script into her hand, "I already have, test me".
And so I was given the role and got to snog the best looking girl in school, oh hang on, I went to an all boys school. Damn.
