t2 oegjlj 1 9iql4spto 3mlfsat t i h quti tribune december 12 1990 p7 my childhood stage career was brief but humorous christmas is a time for friends and relations community gettogethers and the annual school conceit christmas concerts are a bit like wed dings for the families of the very young they bring out the dewyeyed rednosed sentimentalist in even the most case- hardened parent the younger the chil dren the earlier their doting relatives will arrive to stake out a ringside seat alas most childrens enthusiasm for participating decreases in inverse pro portion to their age and by the time they reach grade 6 or 7 the concert has been reduced to a battle of wills between obdurate children resigned teachers and parents whose wellmeaning but mis guided enthusiasm bears much respon sibility for perpetuating this annual ordeal looking back on my own brief career onstage the memories that stand out are the unmitigated disasters like the year our elementary schools head prefect a bossy and unpopular girl who was cho sen to portray the angel gabriel found herself mysteriously entangled in a cur tain halfway through an excruciating rendition of the first noel while the stage crew denied all responsibility for this unfortunate fiasco the angelic chorus of which i was a member were overcome with hysterical laughter when the curtain rose once more we were still struggling to regain our perches on the school benches while the angel gabriel glowered at us in a menacing and distinctly unchristian manner it was however recalled my mother later one of the few occasions on which she had the opportunity to dress her only daughter in a pretty feminine costume for a concert it was okay to think like that in those days as a student at an all- jb9 ibs p jisf ifc wr kates corner kate gilderdale girls school i usually ended up in the chorus playing policemen pirates and other roles reserved for the tone deaf for some reason the operettas of gilbert and sullivan were deemed the perfect vehicle for our questionable musical talents this fact reverberated painfully in the ears of my father a diehard g s fan who retained his enthusiasm for the music despite our murderous assaults on it if my theatrical career was undistin guished my younger brothers was spec tacularly unsuccessful although it was the roles he played as much as his inepti tude which accounfed for this he was among the tallest in his class with enor mous feet so it was with some surprise that my mother learned he would play a nymph in one illfated production his only line which he forgot in the excitement of his brief moment of glory was hide hide his fellow thespians hardly did better crying hark the army comes and pointing dramatically to i stage left as the promised troops arrived on cue but from die opposite side of the stage while the audience struggled to over come its laughter the cast rolled around in uncontrolled mirth ralph richardson once said the art of acting consists in keeping people from coughing my brother and i missed our calling after all- upper deck hockey sports cards 9091 upper deck hockey po per pack 9091 score hockey 9091 skybox basketball hard plastic card
