I know this is a late response, but a comment on still requiring 11/2"
standpipe outlets, even for sprinkled stages. It is common for required
smoke detection to be disabled due to use of pyrotechnics, and for firewatch
to be on site.
If ignition occurs, after pulling a pull station, water can be applied.

If it's the IBC;
410.2 Definitions - Stage and Platforms
PLATFORM. A raised area within a building used for worship, the
presentation of music, plays or other entertainment; the head table
for special guests; the raised area for lecturers and speakers; boxing
and wrestling rings; theater-in-the-round stages; and similar purposes
wherein there are no overhead hanging curtains, drops, scenery or
stage effects other than lighting and sound. A temporary platform is
one installed for not more than
30 days.
STAGE. A space within a building utilized for entertainment or
presentations, which includes overhead hanging curtains, drops,

You need to use the appropriate building code to determine platform vs
stage
for this area of the country. If stage, square footage and ability to
store
under will also come into play.
