It is hard to know without knowing the play... but, as an ex light designer (hated by some photographers...) I would recommend you to have some ASA 3200 rolls... if you are going to do B&W you can also carry 400 ASA film, but theatre stages can be quite dark. Summarising, I would carry 400 and 3200 ASA B&W film. Borja.
