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?

My school decided not to do a Nativity one year
and instead decided to do a play that's story appeared to built from the interaction of abstract concepts. I played "Noise" - which in casting terms was the equivalent level to a Shepherd I suppose. But it did mean I got to run around the stage annoying the shit out of the audience with a football rattle. I was about 8 years old. I studied drama at university, but nothing ever really came close to that in terms of pure fun on stage. Simple pleasures.
