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?

I once played an Indian...In a school version of Annie Get Your Gun, (I have no idea why I was chosen to play one, I looked nothing like one), and my costume involved me being shirtless and wearing a pair of jeans. The rehearsals went fine, with everyone getting to know their respective parts, and it seemed nothing could go wrong.
Until opening night, that is.
The play started well, and everyone played their part well, then, with about 5 minutes to go to the interval, my time came. Bounding onto the stage to deliver my lines (I only had 2 lines to deliver), I managed to lose my footing, and proceeded to skid across the stage and slide off the front and land in the front row, right in the lap of the Mayor and his wife. I couldn't move, as I was laughing too hard, as were the majority of the audience. The headteacher however was completely aghast, and proceeded to frogmarch me out of the hall telling me that I'd never represent the school at anything again.
I however, was more worried about the injuries I'd picked up, the shirtless slide across the stage had caused me to get a massive friction burn on my chest.
Length. Must have been at least 2 feet long.
