Have you ever acted in a play?

At school or professionally? Really any kind of play - even a church Christmas pageant. What was it called and what part did you play?

Some sort of Pied Piper play we did two years ago. In the local school version, I played Billy Pickle, a child that the Pied Piper freezes. In the whole region version, an ensemble child.

Nope. The only thing I've really done is play Elias when a couple of friends and I did the Lord of the Rings scene from Clerks II for a Drama/Improv night.

Yep, twice. I was one of the Brothers in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and a Russian thug in Fiddler on the Roof.

Yes, and badly. Luckily, I decided not to attempt any more of it.

I was in a city production of the Music Man once. I was just a random teen / train passenger.

In before Teff and his millions of plays.

Last play I was in was...third grade, I think.

Most memorable play: I was in kindergarten/first grade. It was a play about crayons. I was a black crayon and noone wanted to color with me. RACISM >:(

Too bad Skee and Queenie-C aren't still here. They'd beat him by a million fold.

Yeah, a bunch back when I was young. I was in a homeschool drama group. I have no idea what all I did. I think I was in 5-6 plays.

This seems more like a GTKY thing, so I'm gonna move it there.

Nope. I'm not that talented. I'd rather just make fun of plays, MST3K style.

I recently got done with a school play. I'm ashamed to say it was High School Musical, but I only was in it because a secondary role dropped out, and football was over.

AbuGrape45 · **Posted:** Wed Nov 14, 2007 1:00 am

I haven't acted in one, but I've written 1 or 2 before. And I'm actually working on another one in a playwright contest called "Rivalry Made Personal" about 2 rival mafia families.

I know. That was slightly off subject. Just saying...

I'm a playwright, you may remember me from works such as "American Shakespeare in London" where the greatest American Poet gets turned into a werewulf and the evil dead come.

Sports have kept me out of the high school plays

A list of meaningless school plays I have been in:
- The Big One. It was about a family that won the lottery but lost the ticket and went crazy and stuff. I played Sludge, the friend of the family, and I had the best four lines in the entire play.
- I don't remember exactly what it was called. It was a whole bunch of different scenarios that all used the same dialogue. I was Scientist B.
- SpongeBob - The Camping Episode. For reals. I was SpongeBob.
- Jabberwocky. I was the Jabberwocky. Man, that play was epic.
- A Nameless Play That We Wrote Ourselves, Involving A Nuclear War, George W. Bush And This Kid Called Newbie. I could go on and on about how awesome this play was. I only played a meaningless groupie, but I did help write the most hilarious scene ever.
(I think I'm forgetting some.)
And I've also played the Interruption Pig in several puppet shows.

I always wanted to be in a school play, but I kept forgetting when the meetings to sign up were on.

But I have been in a few school performances in primary school. When I was in kindergarten, I was one of the narrators in the school nativity play, and when I was in year one, I was one of the angels in the school nativity play. I think I was pretty happy to have been chosen for a role two years in a row, but after that the school changed principals and now it puts on Christmas concerts at the end of the year.

Anyway. I was in a few other minor plays in primary school, including one set to this song though the lyrics were a bit different. I was the version of "her" that died. "She caught pneumonia and she upped and died..." I was eight.

Those performances at the weekly assemblies were great. I remember once the year fours or sixes or something performed the twelve times table rap. I think there might also have been a dance routine to go along with that one.

Sorry about the off-topicness. Some things about my primary school get me a little nostalgic.
