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?

Brought to vomitI played one of the shepherds in our musical nativity at junior school - standard shepherding smock and head dress. I got to sing a solo: a dreary little dirge about "What a state the world is in, full of sorrow, full of sin." No wonder I'm such a grump twenty years on.
During the dress rehearsal, performed in front of the neighbouring infant school, one of the audience was sick during the middle of my solo. The teacher congratulated me for going on with the show - what a pro, singing in the face of adversity, undaunted by the distractions of the audience.
Truth is I didn't really notice the kerfuffle, possibly due to the fact that shepherds weren't allowed to wear glasses - they hadn't been invented yet, see?
