What role did you play in the school nativity play?

Jesus Wept

That is, if you partook in one.

I was one of the three wise men, sporting a snazzie white and blue dressing gown (my own) and possibly some sort of makeshift tea towel turban.
I like to think that I brought a sort of Hugh Hefneresq quality to the trio.

I can't recall which gift I brought for de bab-ay jebus, gold, Frankincense or myrrh - probably because they are even shitter gifts than vouchers.

I still remember who played Jebus, Mrs Jebus and the angel yoke.

How about you?



Edit: Or any school production for that matter?

I was a shepherd. I was the one that was left on the stage to look after the sheep while the other two fucked off to see Jesus.

I piled the toy sheep on top of each other and pushed them off the stage.

My teacher wasn't best pleased

Jesus Wept

Jebus, flashbacks.

I wasn't a wise man at all.
I was also a shepherd.

I played a tree and my performance was praised.

One year our school did a Four night run of "Oliver". I was a random pub urchin. How life imitates art.

I went for the dry lifeless direction which Im a natural at. I did it so well I landed the major role of Elf #4 in the next years play of Santa's Busy Christmas

We played the part of Herod's soldiers sent to 'disappear' the infant babbies.

I was a tree in another school play.

I was the doctor performing an emergency C-section with a kitchen knife.

I remember you. It was the final day of dress rehearsal and there you were, walking right through, ba-ba-ba-ba, like this in the background.

Well I'm not one to brag but... I did make 'Mary' one year

and might I say

homerun_homer

I was Narrator#1 in Senior infants. It seemed lame at the time but at least I wasn't the guy who had to get on all fours and be the donkey carrying Mary and Joeseph.

efb

King! I rocked! Gold was my gift!

jebuz

I played the drummer boy 2 years in a row, nailed it mostly, except for the one performance on Christmas morning where I left my drum on the church seat and walked up the aisle banging the drum sticks together, super lame.

It wasn't so bad - at least Mary was played by a bloke!

I was at that play, I remember saying "That guy has a great career ahead of him in the special branch"

I was Mary in primary 3, I was disgusted because Andy McCluck was Joesph and I had to hold his snotty hand :mad:

artanevilla

Inn Keeper No.2, and one of the three French Hens in another one.

delricyo

I was never good enough to get a leading role

I was an angel for most of them (ie backing singer)
My mother was embarrassed because the only voice she could hear was me at the back of the stage - roaring the words to The Little Drummer Boy at the top of my voice

I was ALWAYS the narrator for some godforsaken reason. Hated it. never got to dress up, píssed me off no end, never gt to dress up and do all the fun stuff my classmates were doing. Think thats why I hate halloween now and don't dress up.....! Was robbed of it as a child! :eek:

The Narrator.

Was just happy I wasn't a star, they had huuuge cardboard cutouts around their heads.

Joesph.
Thats the worst thing about being the tallest girl in an all girls primary school. I always had to play the men in every school play. I was Prince Charming in Cinderella and Bill Sikes in Oliver Twist.

RxQueen

we just did random plays at christmas time, never ever really realting to christmas

one year i was a hedgehog, another year a nurse, a postman, a sunflower, and one year we did sort of a christmas theme and i was Mrs Clause..

BroomBurner

I was Mary one year (though nearly had the part stolen while I was out with chicken pox). Another year, I was Benny from Abba. I didn't even go to an all-girls school

That's the worst? You got good roles.
At least you weren't an inconspicuous plant.

When your a lanky,gawky,spotty girl whose class mates are all dressing up in pretty dresses and looking all feminine, and your dressing up as Bill Sikes and Joseph you start to get a few complexes
I hated the way Mary was always played by the 'pretty' girl in the school.

Im sure you made a wonderful plant windsock

WindSock

Ehh thanks. At least I wasn't a crapweed. :pac:

donmeister

I was too shy to have a role. Acting 'aint my forte

Zombienosh

i can remember two plays i did in school...

In the jesus one, thats this one isnt it?
I was a soldier guy that killed jesus.

Then i remember we did some other one, think it was 3 little pigs..

and i was a tree in the background...

phasers

I played King Herod in a silent Nativity play age 16

As for my performance? I think the headline "Play enjoyed by all" speaks for itself

A sheep.

wudangclan

I was a Joseph in our senior infants nativity play and ,yes ,Mary did remain a virgin throughout our time together.

jumpguy

I played Joseph. I told Mary she was so big she should be playing the stable. The performance didn't go down a storm, needless to say.
