A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Bring the 18-55 cause it’s probably a bigger aperture.
Don’t be shy to bring up the ISO. A noisy shot is better than a blurry one. Shutter should be at least 1/100 if no image stabilization.
Practice before in low light at home with your cats.
I'm an absolute amateur, so maybe this is completely wrong, but I like to shoot with exposure brackets in quick series mode when I'm in conditions that I'm not confident about.
That increases the probability that at least one of the shots is not super over- or underexposed.
Oh that’s an interesting approach, I only remember that for HDR pics. Didn’t use that technique much, maybe a little for car/structural photography.
If it works for you, then it’s not wrong. I would still advice to develop a better feeling for light metering but this seems like a great way to learn.
Cause in the end you are wasting two out of three shots if I understand right.
I was doing film for a while and it helped me a lot to develop a feeling for reading light in a scene. Like other people already mentioned, stages often have a brightly lit subject in front of a dark background.
