To be honest, just about any of the apple clubs I've ever helped with could have a memorable moment... but the unnamed children do the most amusing things...
Memory 1
Workshop Leader: So "child", what's your news?
Child: {excited} I'm in my school nativity play!
Workshop Leader: Wow, that sounds cool! What part are you playing?
Child: I'm playing the main one, called the Virgin Mary... {now beginning to sound more confused} but.... I don't know what a virgin is... i think its something to do with sex...?
Workshop Leader: Um... okay, thats very interesting, can you go and sit down? Who else has some news?
Memory 2
N.B - This one came from James B, but amused me enough that I've never forgtotten it...!
Workshop Leader: So "child", what's your news?
Child: I've got some good news and some bad news. At the weekend, I went to a bonfire party, but when we were there someone died.... but my good news is I got a sparkler!
And in terms of shows...
Memory 3
For those of you who were in "The Passion" and can remember...
Stewart left the theatre to go and find something, and left Simon in charge of the rehearsal for 10 minutes, for us just to discuss some ideas. And then, completely out of the blue, Ferdie decided to pull down Ed's trousers, only to his horror to realise he had pulled down Ed's boxers as well. Only to be topped off by Stewart coming in shortly afterwards to find his cast in hysterics and Ed as red as a tomato, only to ask "whats going on in here?!"
'Fraid thats all I can remember though... anyone else?

I like Teeolee's!
I'v heard that in one session in Kenilworth - Mary was attacked by a small 5year old boy. He was hitting and kicking and head-butting her! ... Mary actually bled!
*shock*
Im sure there are loads more ....

One of my most memorable workshops was back in the days of Bristol Playbox (yes, you will find I keep harking back!) on Laura Wade's last day as Centre Director. We played improvisation freeze tag for the whole session and relived lots of our favourite moments in a very surreal way. It was so funny. But you kinda had to be there...
