All the time. There is a society that certifies actors and choreographers, although certification is not required to swing a sword on stage. Classes are a lot of fun, and you learn a lot. (IMHO actor certification is, however, a way to get the actors to shell out big $$ to stay current)
Fencing weapons are common (or at least the blades in period hilts), and combat-worthy broadsword blades are also available. AFS is one source.
Depending on the action I have tried to have a back-up sword on stage just in case, however most fights are rather quick and not a prolonged ‘bish-bash-bosh’. I’ve lost count of the number of broken blades I have reworked into daggers.
Pretty interesting piece of trivia there. Are metal weapons even allowed in theater plays?
