Rather the opposite. The shirt absorbs other colours, and reflects the blue light, which is what you see.

Why does a red shirt look black in blue light?

Well, why do you call it a red shirt ? Could it be because it absorbs all colors of light except red, so that when white light shines on it, all colors except red soak into the shirt, and red is the only light left to travel from the shirt to your eye ? If that is so, then what happens if no red light shines on the shirt ? Is there any light left to travel to your eye ? No ? Well then, what color do you see if no light travels from the shirt to your eye ? I hope Socrates would be proud.

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. Therefore, all of these clothing items are absorbing the light and not reflecting it back as the colors they should be under white light.
