A telephoto lens would be great and don't use a flash!
You should use high iso rating film so the actors don't get motion blur and use a tripod because you'll need a slow speed anyway.
Also I recomend trying to find a low noice camera and I bet you'll want to ask the theatre people to see if they let you take pictures. You probably thought of that already.

First tip is a quiet camera. I often photograph in the theatre as an adience member and have, through trial and error, managed to get some lovely shots. I never use a tripod as I find it limits movement and spontaneity. Fast film is a definite must. The quality and level of light changes often on stage but in general I find Fuji Neopan 1600 works well for B&W. Personally I like the atmosphere movement can add to an image (see 1st image in my gallery) but if your not using a tripod and your light readings are suggesting a very slow shutter speed, try pushing the film. A Zoom lense can be useful, as can booking a good seat in advance if your shooting from the audience. If on the other hand you have backstage and on-stage access then your flying it!!! Best of luck & I hope this helps.
