part deals with firearms use on stage, starting with pre-production
planning and moving through the rehearsal and blocking process to backstage procedure
and onstage use and safety. Finally there is a hands-on demonstration of safety
tests for the various weapon types and ammunitions discussed and a question-answer
period.
