The gloves made me look like some kind of fur trapper….the blade doesn’t get rusty ’cause it’s a deal prop sword use for stage combat and if the oil from your hands is on there and it doesn’t get wiped off properly it can lead to deterioration of the blade, so we had to wear those whenever handling the equipment like that. It was honestly kind of good ’cause we would have probably have some hand pain after our fighting sequences if we didn’t have those.
It was a tech week so I was probably thinking about what I was going to eat and when, ‘cause it gets pretty long and grueling on those days…. I played two different characters in that show on different nights so I had that in my head to balance and I had to constantly brush up on it to keep it fresh for the show.
…I’ve got one more show this year coming up in May and then I’ll go off to college and won’t get to do it again anymore.
