Found a very short video footage of a small section of the Stage Play here:

Also, here's a commemorative wallpaper for the event:

PS: The Monk said to tell you guys that that's her real hair and not a wig. I can attest to that since I was there

That is truly awesome! GG

Ok, for us non theater majors, how is the armor constructed? What material most specifically? Plastic? Foam?

The people wearing the costumes are actually the people who made them except for the Mesmer who borrowed the costume from the Monk and the Necrid who had to substitute for the guy who was supposed to wear it last minute.

Because different people made the different armors, they're actually quite different in construction. Mine (the left-most in the original picture) was made from different kinds of foam-assisted rubber (the stuff they make rubber shoes or sandals from) covered with a stretch leatherette and painted over, the guy in black in the middle used the same rubber without the covering, a styrofoam hammer (which was designed to shatter on impact), and a plastic axe.

The Lich Lord (guy with the horns) is made from a steel frame with solidified adhesives that were formed and molded. The Necrid guy beside him is made from paper mache basically. Most of their weapons (and mine) are made from wood (to avoid hurting each other should an unfortunate swing sneak past the shield and armor) that has just been treated with some resin and painted over.

Btw, if you're curious, there just happens to be a picture of the Necrid guy without his helmet. This is what he looks like without his face covered:

Actually, the Necrid guy was supposed to be Rurik, but he objected when we suggested dousing his head with gasoline and setting it on fire.

ANet wouldn't really be spending that much money sending us to the Guild Wars World Championships in Taipei, Taiwan hehe. It's like a 2-hr plane ride from the Philippines. We're even in the same time zone

AMDG, the local distributor of Guild Wars, is actually asking us to do the stage play again. Have to ask the rest of the people though since we found out the hard way that 10 minutes of sword fighting and dancing in armor is actually quite exhausting. Plus, those things are no joke to lug around hehe.
