Hatch Posted 11 December, 2008 Share Posted 11 December, 2008 Going to watch one tonight. My youngest is 'a camel' Which is an improvement on my oldest who a few years ago played the part of 'a tree'. And the school is calling it a 'Nativity play' as well and not some namby pamby name to satisfy the loony left. I'm sure it will be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_saints Posted 11 December, 2008 Share Posted 11 December, 2008 The highlight of my acting career was when I was a "sea serpent" in the school play. I had to dance whilst wearing my Mum's tights. Good days... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_saints Posted 11 December, 2008 Share Posted 11 December, 2008 I was also due to be the main character in Scrooge once. But in a school assembly my mate behind me decided it would be a good idea to stick a needle into my neck, thus causing me to shout something along the lines of "Ahhhh f**k!!!". I was then no longer allowed to have the part. Needless to say, the friend of mine got severe beatings (consisting of ruler slaps, nipple cripples, vicks in eyes...etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aids victim Posted 11 December, 2008 Share Posted 11 December, 2008 I was all of the parts in my schools play 'cos they said to me "Aids, you're the one who is amazing at everything and in future years you'll need something to brag about on the innernets, so this is what we're going to give you to brag about". People said that is was the best show that they have never seen and people said that I was fuсking amazing and my Mum didn't video it but said if she did then it'd be the best film she had made and my Dad said I could have a quid and my Sister told her mates that I was her brother and my schoolmates said I was the best thing ever and I then went to sleep that night saying to myself "you've made it Aids, you're the man, learn how to spell and you can brag about this on the innernets forever" and here I am and and and and and xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pip87 Posted 11 December, 2008 Share Posted 11 December, 2008 I once played the part of one of those dudes with the tea towels on their heads in the Jesus play. This was at my first primary school which was a 'god squad' school, as I called it... Eventually I moved to a normal school. No where near as cool as the part my friend got to play once at secondary school, which was Nicholas the neckrofeliack. I'm unsure what the play was about because I didn't watch it. I shall ask him.

Poshie72 Posted 11 December, 2008 Share Posted 11 December, 2008 I was an angel in my primary school nativity... and then years later progressed to playing the part of a mad inmate in Sweeny Todd. Not quite sure what they are trying to tell me! My youngest had his first nativity last week and was one of the shepherds. Did really well apart from pulling faces throughout and swinging a toy sheep round by its tail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interpretation of Orsino was a tour de force and i was the toast of the school gym converted theatre* i can tell you. * rickety wooden stage in the middle of the gym floor.
