One of my hobbies - that doesn't involve collecting and building models and toy soldiers - is theater. For this hobby, I collect costumes and props. ;)
I perform in live theater shows, as well as doing historical reenacting.
This was something I was very involved in as a teen, https://ccct.org/ and for part of my time in college. I also played the role of a Warsaw Pact soldier for part of my time in the US Army, but I'm not sure if that counts - although tanks and armored personnel carriers make pretty cool props!
I got involved in the Great Dickens Christmas Fair (if you are not familiar with it, it's kind of like a Rennaissance Faire, but set in the Victorian era, and with a Christmas theme) a few years ago, and found it more fun to attend when dressed up so I would fit in. https://dickensfair.com/
At the Dickens Fair as a customer - 2013 (iirc).
Dickens Day at the school where I was working
at the time, with a great coworker.
The last year before I left (the Banana Republic of) California, I joined the cast of the Dickens Fair.

Victorian Ball with my dance partner, Virginia.
Hogwarts Ball, again with Virginia.
This led to me starting to learn period ballroom dancing, and attending themed dances with a great group of people, who are one of the small number of things I miss about CA. http://peersdance.org/
The long-suffering chauffer.
A fun dinner show that we did as a fundraiser.
Now that I am in Nevada, I have become involved with two local theater groups, as well as being a somewhat active member of the Nevada Civil War Volunteers, an ACW reenactment group that primarily engages in educational activities. https://www.nevadacivilwar.org/

Everyone seems to be turning on Vince - is he a killer?
