What role did you play in the school nativity play?

I was always the shepard, one of them! I always wanted to be the angel so i could wear wings, tiara, and a wand! heehee!

Age 8, I played part of the stable wall. Had to wear brown polo neck and brown cord trousers. So glittery and festive!

I was a shrub

I like the way shrub thinks.

I playd Mary in Junior Infants, don't remember being on stage just the rehearsal in the class and singing 'Little Donkey'. I was delighted 'cos I was wearing a blue silk thing...Joseph kept kissing me and saying 'you're me wife, we have to kiss'.......Joseph was a girl:o.

I also played one of the Kings in a later class for a carol service with the other 5th class. I sellotaped gold tinsel around the edges of a sheet to make a cloak which was unbelievably difficult to do. I also made my own crown out of tin foil and cardboard.

My teacher was a cow..When Mary told the Angel Gabriel that she couldn't be having a baby her line went 'but I've never slept with a man' (which was a very unsuitable line for a child's play anyway) I saw my teacher sniggering and laughing and nudging the other teacher.
(Sharon Corr was in the other class that year as a minor detail of interest.)

I couldn't help laughing at that, what a crap part to be given:D.

When I was arround eleven I was the angel and I remember having to wear my cousins communion dress. (I was a tiny eleven year old )

I was the narrator.
My teacher said it was because I was the best reader in the class. In hindsight, I was probably just too ugly to be seen on stage.

And when I say stage, I mean a crappy little classroom with no props where we were watched by a very unenthusiastic group of parents. :pac:

We had our yearly school play at Easter. I too was a narrator in 3rd class in 'The Pied Piper'. We were told to wear black and white. I wore a white polo neck and a navy and white polka dot skirt and had a freshly styled page boy hair cut:o. The state of me! I had two lines to say and I was dead nervous.

Another play I was in was one about a toy shop that came to life. I was a clown doll that just stood there in a pink nightdress with a pillow stuffed up it (I don't think my mam knew what a clown looked like)..I borrowed a classmate's wig and caught nits:(. I scratched like a dog 'til June when my mam eventually copped on and when the neighbours across the street could possibly hear them marching around my scalp.

I played the Star it was a very important role :P I had to stand there and not move I was the star of the show;)

In first class i was also a star, i had to dress all yellow, but i had three lines:p

One of the three wise men. I had to say "Follow that star, no matter how far."

It was a highlight in my life!!!

I remember a few years ago we did a play of Cinderella, Now I cant recall exactly what i was supposed to be all i remember is walking out in front of 300 people (i was a very shy child) half naked (the good half) and trying to perform a re-enactment of the last dance in the Cinderella story, I still have flashbacks of that god awful night.
