School Play!

Topic: Arranged Marriages

The play, produced by the Principal as a fundraiser for the school, was done on a large scale. A professional hall was booked and tickets sold.

Being an all-girl school, we took the boys' roles as well. I was the younger brother of the bride, always getting into trouble.

My 'reward' for getting into trouble? I was the only one who got to eat on stage!! Even the 'bride' and 'groom' didn't have roles where they ate food!

There was one scene where I had to hide under a table.
The director wanted it to look realistic.
During rehearsal I was lying on the floor while every table in school was tried out over me.
None of them fit to his satisfaction.
So - a carpenter measured me and the table was custom made.
Other actresses get measured for costumes.
I got measured for furniture.
