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?

"It wouldn't be appropriate"I went to a Roman Catholic school for a while. I'll tell some of the stories about it someday.
Every year they did a "Passion Play". Basically, for those who don't know, it depicts how Jesus Christ is supposed to have suffered at the hands of the Romans. Think "The Passion Of The Christ" only with teenagers.
For some utterly unknown reason, the play included a scene on a desert island. Populated by "funny-coloured natives". Now, a little known but true fact about me (and my brother) is that we're dual heritage, making me a sort of 'cafe au lait' colour. A shoo-in, you say?
Not likely. They told me that it 'wasn't appropriate' for me to play a funny coloured native (despite actually being one) and they painted some good Catholic boys black. Shame they all had blue eyes and three of them had ginger hair.
So, the answer is 'nothing, despite being suited for the role'.
Of course, I also escaped being an altar boy, something I'm quite glad about.

Since you ask...cafeaulaitgod was taken.
Although if the QOTW ever manages to be 'how did you get your nickname' then I explain properly.
