Scott,
I really like P3200 for this kind of thing--the grain
enhances the smoky nocturnal atomosphere, I think.
Off-camera flash is also very helpful, but hard to
arrange on short notice.

What Cotty said. Stage lights are almost always bright enough for
available light photography. Use high speed film if you have to. I'd
bring some Tri-X and some Delta 3200 or Kodak TMZ 3200. You can rate
either of those last two at 800 or 1600 if you have enough light. The
Delta 3200 is very ni

I use flash for this kind of work, but I find TTL metering mandatory, so
it won't be an option if you're usin

Like others have said, spot meter the faces. If you can't, definitely
underexpose a bit. You're shooting neg, so you'll have plenty of
latitude. Stage

Thanks for all the insight, folks. Mark's use of flash certainly
sounds interesting, but I don't have the hardware for it. Current
plans are fast film and ear plugs!
Thanks again for all the wonderful reponses.
