What colour would a red shirt appear when exposed to white light?

A white shirt is, basically, reflecting all colours of the electromagnetic spectrum which it is exposed to. So for white light it is reflecting red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. If you only expose it to red light (with a wavelength of ~650nm), it will reflect only that light. Therefore, the white shirt will appear red.

Why is the stage light color red when a red shirt and blue pants appear black?

The blue pants appear black because they are absorbing the red wavelengths. The shirt must not be the same color as the light, because using basic knowledge of how light works, if it really was red along with the stage light, it would appear red as well.
