oops, I was meant to add...... so which role (roll, rolo, roal - sic) did you play in the school nativity.......

I played one of the 3 kings, but I had a myrrh!

I assume your youngest is a girl because in this day and age of 'progressive education, you never know! :D

I played John The Baptist and I had to zip my snorkel up then pull it over my shoulders so it looked as though I had no head

Knowing you, it was probably Joan the Baptist.

Congratulations. Does the role still involve sitting down all the way through the play whilst Joseph opens and closes the door for the various well wishers?

 

Crawley Jr was a star last year. Literally. Took me about two weeks to make the costume and then some of the scrubbers just dressed their kids in white PJs.

And you doubtless said, in a luvee kind of way that "This is the theeeeeeeeatre daaaaaaaaaaarleeeeeeng!"

:::lol::: Oh yes.

Make your own dresses too?

I once played the arse end of a donkey.

I was selected for the lead role in the Christmas nativity play at primary school and hated it.

Everytime someone did something naughty in class in the run up to Christmas the teacher would say "If you don't behave the Christmas play will be cancelled" Unfortunately not enough naughty things were done for the play not to take place.

 

Doing the play on the night was not as bad as the fear of doing the play,but i still did not join the acting society at secondary school.

Did you get a copy of the programme, though?

Typecasting?

I had a towel on my head. said nowt.

 

thenafter a quick costume change i was a robin.

 

said nowt. hopped around a bit... i was ill at the timei recal, and lagged quite someway behind the flock.

Whose butt did you end up having to sniff?

I once played an utterly misrepresented Santa Clause in the primary school nativity.

 

Near the end of the song I had to sing (Do You Belive In Santa Clause? [Yes, Yes, We do!!]) the false beard my mum had made came loose and I sucked in a load of cotton wool by mistake. I almost choked to death and it took a good minute or so before everybody stopped laughing and realised I was in bother.

 

The girl who played Mary held my hand on the way to school the next day so it wasn't a complete disaster.

I hope you either went to school in America or the teacher got sacked for misinforming you all of the name of the man who brings our pressies! :nea:

I think it was the male drama teacher actually. :blink:
