Mic options for capturing school play on Sony A1/A9

Hi folks,

I'm a photographer, shooting with the Sony A9 and A1.

I've been asked if I would setup and record the the school play (20-30 mins long) and I've been wondering about microphone options.

This doesn't have to be anything incredibly expensive - it's a school play that will otherwise be filmed on iPhones.

However, if there was an option that allowed me to setup the A9 and A1 middle and to one side of the stage, with some kind of reasonably priced external microphones that would be really helpful.

Can anyone give me some pointers here? I know my gear inside out for photography and whilst I have a bit of video experience in my background, this isn't something I've done in a while so a bit out of touch with options.

Thanks!
