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?

Again, uniquely qualifiedThe play called for a snake-charmer act. And so, I was chosen to play the snake. Oh, all right then, two snakes, called 'lefty' and 'righty'.
I sat in a bin, facing away from the audience, arms painted with stage make-up to look like... well, two arms covered in stage make-up, and waved them about roughly in time to the music.
Woo.
My parents must have wiped away tears at my stage début. Oh, and one night, some kid shouted "They're not snakes! That's someone's arms!" In a shocking preview of my current bitter and twisted personality, I remember thinking something along the lines of "Yeah, kid, I know".
I did stage lighting after that.
