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?

Nativity Plays - Choir BoyOh I hated school plays. I think we only ever did them in Junior school though. My only memory of them is the fact that I was always bunged in the choir because I was too shite to act on stage. I didnt do singing either, and mimed the whole time. (As I still do if im ever dragged to a church for weddings etc)
Anyway, I cant remember what the play was, but one of the characters was a crippled boy. So the kid with a broken arm got the honour of playing The Crippled one. I remember, the actors had been doing loads of extra practice after school, and we went in for the dress rehersal. And wow, they had put loads of extra bits and pieces into the play and it was going great. Then the cripple came onto stage and fell over! Oh how we all laughed! Then everyone ran over to him to help him up and I was thinking "Wow this is great acting! No wonder I didnt get the part!" Then it became apparant that it wasnt intentional. The lad re-broke his arm and had to spend another 2 months in plaster.
And thats about as exciting as Nativity plays get! Yup, just about as exciting as this post.
