I am thinking this way: first, show a matching, normal pen in some context earlier in the scene/show. Something a bright color, maybe, so the audience recognizes its duplicate later. Just prior to the stabbing, a switch is made for a duplicate pen with a silicone "eye with a pen hole in it"...

Doing a high school production of South Pacific and this was incredibly helpful. Thank you, so much!

I am a Dad/volunteer with my highschool daughter's theater groups. I have a lot of experience in theater tech from college and community theater and spend most of my spare time now building props and sets and doing makeup. This board is a wonderful resource! Thanks for all the great posts...
