Theater Jobs: Fight Captain

A fight captain is just what the name implies, someone to watch over any stage combat. Now in the show I'm currently involved in there are two fight captains, myself, and another guy. This was done this way because we are both in the show and heavily involved in the fighting done in it. There are three main fights throughout the show. #1- The Wedding Fight This fight involves 8 combatants that are split into three groups. The main group has stage left and center stage and is comprised of three people (Myself and two others), the other two groups are on stage right and are comprised of two and three people respectively, ( The other fight captain and another guy in one group and three in the other group). This fight is one of the reasons two fight captains were chosen, so we could each watch part of the stage instead of one of us trying to watch it all. #2- The Glen Fight This fight involves only two combatants, me and the other fight captain. It is described as the most brutal fight in the show. It is between the two of us because we are the least likely to get hurt during it. #3- The "Bonnie Brawl" This fight involves many combatants, I'm not part of the fight but the other fight captain is. This allows me to watch the fight as a whole while he takes part and watches each individual. This allows for more control overall. This is part one of the Fight Captain entry. Stay tuned for more
