From experience, I know the floodlight would fool the meter, so I dialed in -0.3 or -0.7, depending on the situation, A number of images I have to add exposure back or use LR's fill light, but overall I am very happy with it. I use aperture priority and usually just go one stop above wide open to maintain a balance of as much light and depth of field, and just let the shutter falls where it is. This is the first time I watch the play but I know they probably will move a lot, so I try to keep the aperture open so that the shutter is at least 1/80. If I have an E-5, I would shoot ISO 1600-2500 and get even more speed leeway. And yes, the songs can be quite ... bawdy. Thanks again.
