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?

Trial By JuryFor some reason, my school thought that it was appropriate for the annual school play to be Gilbert & Sullivan's light opera, "Trial By Jury." In most schools, this would have been fine but since ours was an all boys school and "Trial By Jury" features a substantial number of female parts, it was obvious that our teaching staff either had (a) forgotten or (b) a wicked sense of humour.
Anyways, I audition for a role and wind up as a bridesmaid. A fucking bridesmaid. Which means that for three nights in a row (plus the daytime dress rehearsal that the rest of the school was invited to) I got to prance around on stage wearing my nan's nightie (in lieu of a bridesmaid's outfit).
Twenty years have passed and I still wake up in a cold sweat, hoping that it was just a nightmare but, sadly, no. Luckily this was all before the time of Youtube so that shit wasn't digitised for the whole world to enjoy.

PhoebyIt must have been the pervy teachers. I was cast as Phoeby in Yeomen or whatever. Anyhoo I bottled it and the stand in took the role for the performance. As with yourself an all male school and a close mate who we shall call S as that was nevah his initial actually became smitten with Pheoby. FFS
