Shane,
Thanks for posting these and the information about your techniques & lenses, etc., and for posting pics with the EXIF intact. I've shot a couple of high school productions mostly as a favor to the director, and I've still got a lot to learn. This stuff helps. (Your web site, which is very nicely done, btw, also is helpful.)
I especially liked #1 (my goodness --1/15 sec with a 400 mm -- you captured this at just the right moment) and #6 with the perfect shutter speed for a sharp subject with some motion blur. Great images.

Hi John, you are right on the money, the balance between sutters and ISO and the amount of movement in the scene is a constant juggling act. Dance for example is a whole different ballgame. I'm fooling with and checking settings often and sometimes no matter what you do, it just does not work. Here is one of my kid at 1/50 that did not work, she is somewhat blurry and this shot will not go on the website for the show...they were moving just a little too fast for 1/50 and by the time I bumped the ISO for this lowlight scene to try again, it was over. The other option usually used for lowlight is to just switch to a faster prime and get the shutter speeds back up...the 85 would have been perfect for this shot. But I try to pay attention all the time as many shows have such low light as you know. Oh well, can't get everything! 
The second shot here was a nicely lit scene with lots of reflected whites so got 1/250 at 2.8 and ISO 1600 (hard to go lower than 1600, even tho that would be nice) at 70mm with the 70-200. Oh, I love IS lenses for low light shooting like this.
