Joe,
I hate lavs. But, I have no choice in theater situations.
Monitors are a serious problem. Even without monitors, feedback is a
problem in the FOH mix. AND, as the performer moves about the stage, the
problem frequencies change (phase/frequency/distance).
My recommendation is to keep monitor & FOH levels to a minimum. Above
that, I suggest that microphone pickup pattern & placement (costumes -
especially hats) make a big difference.
Plus, tell the performers to speak as if they don't have a mic; as in
traditional theater.
More if you ask pertinent questions,
-Denny
