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?

Down trouThen there was the time our drama class did a performance for a Shakespeare festival. We opted to do a 15-minute version of Othello (surefire crowd-pleaser) in traditional costume. I played Cassio and had to wear white stockings under one the most ridiculous Shakespearian costumes imaginable. It even came with a big red velvet hat complete with a huge pimpin' feather.
On my way offstage during the scene where Othello has an epileptic fit, my bloomers came down, resulting in my stocking-clad arse being exposed to all. Got a good laugh, but not as much as the year before, when we did Hamlet with Star Wars characters (Hamlet = Luke, Horatio = Han Solo, Polonius = Vader, you get the idea).
