I was once a lollypop lady
My sister was once a jam tart and made my mum go into school to complain.
I have just outed my identity if she is a mumsnetter...
anyway

what is the most surreal thing that you have been in a school play

i am mortified at my typling.speliing
soryr

I was the clock in cinderella - Only one line - chiming 12 at midnight

In his last year of primary ds was asked to come dressed as a mobile phone
WTF?

and this was a Catholic primary school

We always seamed to be trees in 'Movement and Music'. They boys OTOH got to be rocket ships. Bastards!

A SHEEP
A SHEEP
A SHEEP

I want to go back to see the schools xmas do this year, want to se how ill be dressed as an Ipod

A character called Lady Cynthia, in a made-up-by-teachers play about the 12 days of Christmas.

I had to go gaga at the amoutn of presents sent to me by my true love.

On the bright side, I got to hit the boy who played the butler. His name was Geoffrey, and I had wanted my boyfriend Kieren to get the part.

I was Mary int he Nativity when I was aabout 6. Had a grand total of ONE line!

"Do we travel far Joseph?"

Hmm...how come the central character gets one line only!?!

Hula, my dd has no lines (she's Mary) and i actually think that's why they've probably cast her as thats as she is so shy!

i was ALWAYS the angel gabriel.
i desperately wanted to be Mary.... but that always went to my blonde friend! grrrrrrrr
it was the same EVERY single year... i knew all the lines off by heart..

oh, apart ffrom one time i was the innkeepers wife.

Ive been an Inkeepers wife, a rat and a fairy. Make of that what you will

Angeliz - you are probably right with that. I was so shy I am suprised I managed that one line really. My mum says I was a very solemn little Mary!

Awww my heart bleeds for you all

I was A SHEEP!!

I am scarred by this people...

I have cut and pasted this from the other thread, because I am still affected by it.

As a fairly, ahem, plain child I never got to be anything fancy at all. How I yearned to have a silver halo, but no, I got to be the narrator (only child in the class who could read - and more importantly from teacher's point of view, mother was a primary school teacher who had stopped working and would supervise narrating practice). Everyone else had pretty costumes....and I got to wear my feckin' school uniform.

Scarred me to this day. Am still the brunette, ahem, plain one who doesn't wear sparkly outfits but is good at reading (am 41, BTW!)

Not in a school play, but one I did with friends for our parents. There weren't enough of us for all the parts so we had to double up. I was the Angel Gabriel, next scene then Balthazar complete with black boot polish on my face, then next scene the Angel again, still with black boot polish.

I was meant to appear in the sky and my cousin had to put the piano stool down for me to stand on. She put it on my foot, I burst into tears and the performance was put on hold while I had a cuddle from my mum.

No wonder they made me the narrator at school.

Oh I just answered this in the other thread.

A Christmas Stocking in Primary 1.

Part of a weird winter Maypole in Primary 4.

Otherwise just in the choir.

ha ha, well I bet I trump you all. I was a Vampirette in my (Catholic, with nuns) primary school Christmas production! We had a fantastic Drama/Ballet teacher / Singing teacher combination, and they did the most interesting productions. My dd this year is a star, and ds is a goblin (they are doing Jack Frost). Last year ds was a figgy pudding. In infants I was frequently a narrator.

Not in a school play, but for the Queens Silver Jubilee school celebration I was dressed as a red, white and blue toucan. My mother was barking, clearly.

Hulababy, I can't believe you can remember your line!

I was an elf in the nativity play (yes, the NATIVITY!).

I was also thunder and lightning in another play about...the weather.

And I was a wassailer in one play too.

I was a priest in the good samaritan once (one of the evil ones that walked past - ha har!!!!

Other than that I got to sing solo "away in a manger" whilst my best mate cooed over a hideous plastic doll in a crib. Not that I'm still bitter.

And then it all went downhill when I learned to play bass recorder. As the only child in primary/junior that was playing bass recorder I was somewhat "typecast" in a musical sense.

Weesaidie, were you a sheep then?
