I've been put on the press list for a local alternative fashion show that's going to take place next month. The lighting and runway situation has been described as such to me: "The runway will be 45ft and the lighting is going to be pretty dim for the most part. We haven't figured out the lighting situation exactly yet but I have visuals that will be projected from the ceiling and reflect off a white runway."
My 50mm f/1.8 and 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 aren't going to cut it, and I'm not sure if my D300 will work, or if I need to go up to a full frame D700, which is an expense that'd make my finances a bit tighter than I'd like. That said, which lenses should I get? I'm not sure if I should go with a zoom or a couple of primes.

For this sort of thing, you'd probably want one of the numerous 70/80-200mm f/2.8 tele zooms. You could probably find an old Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 push-pull (slow AF, but optically identical to the AF-D) for around $400-500 if you looked hard enough.

This is what I do whenever I need to shoot something that's beyond what my little t2i is capable of http://www.borrowlenses.com/

^ This all the way! Just rent the lenses/body you need for the shoot. It also gives you a chance to play with combo's that you can't justify buying outright for just a one time use.
As for the shoot itself I'd be finding out what they allow you to use for lighting and if the ceiling is low enough/reflective enough to bounce off of assuming that you can use flash. If not grab the fastest primes you can and D3s or D4 and just turn up the ISO.
