Hi Folks,
One of my kids is in a drama club on the weekends.  I have taken some photos with my D3200 and Tamron 18-270 lens with no flash and I am struggling to get anything better than "just OK".  There is very little light, except for the spots on the performers, and the light they use has a very orange / yellow hue.

The best results I've gotten are in shutter priority mode, set to between 1/100 or 1/200 and then over exposing etc. in Lightroom.  The results are typically disappointing unless I convert them to B&W.  Poor color rendering, etc.

Any suggestions as to how to take better photos of these plays?  I am up for renting a lens or two to see if they make a difference.  Feel free to offer any suggestions you have!!

Thanks a lot!
