I only was in 2 plays when I was in school, both of which I royally kicked ass at my roles though.
1. A melodrama play that was simply an assignment, I was the bad guy, naturally (made more funny by the fact that I was really short back then, while everyone, including my henchman, was so much taller than me), it was the best one of the class though, so we ended up performing it another 3 times at the Autumn Arts Festival, which was even more awesome.
2. Another old style of comedy, commedia dell'Arte, there wasn't a bad guy necessarily to play, but I still got to play as Gratiano, the scholar, look down on everyone else with a smug face, heheh. Originally, the whole class was supposed to split into 3 and each group would perform one act, but only enough people to make 1 full cast were completely interested, so we gave up on doing it as a class assignment, until the next semester, when we rehearsed it and then performed it 3 times during the day (it went for almost an hour) for 3 separate classes, late towards the end of the year.
Cool thing was, we again got to perform it at a bigger event, our award ceremony at the end of the year. Sure, it was cut down to only have the one plot that was also only including the main points, making it last about 10 minutes max, but I still appeared with a much more significant (in comparison before, I wasn't that important) role, and when the guy playing an idiot henchman came running onto the stage to start the play and (due to wearing socks without shoes) took out one of the mics we were using, it was the greatest moment of the night, apart from when I walked out in my ridiculous costume to accept my award minutes before we went on to perform, while everyone else was wearing neat clothes, heheh.
