If I remember right, the stick was, in fact, a puppet arm from the same puppet show. I think maybe puppet Tybalt's? It had a little hand at the end of it. Ho ho we are having comedy fighting and trolling, until we're not.

I was also slightly less than riveted for Romeo and Juliet's balcony scene pas de deux. >.> They're very very cute! I liked both pas de deux! I just felt that they went on a little longer than they really needed to. But all in all, a truly incredible performance by everyone, all through.
