Fast and Loose, the latest edition of "overnight theatre" created by a company of eight writers, eight directors and 30 actors, will take place at Sacred Fools Theatre in Los Angeles, Jan. 28 & 29. Show time is 8 PM. Based on words drawn from a hat and donated props, eight new short works will be created, with conception, writing, casting, rehearsal and performance all achieved in a 24-hour period. The entire process is repeated for the second show, with all new material being created for this go- round. It is "creativity on demand" for audiences who admire risk- taking live performances.Fast and Footloose is Sacred Fools' first attraction in the new year, following a refurbishment of its theatre and technical equipment. Scheduled for February production is Jacques And His Master by Milan Kundera, directed by John Sylvain. Sacred Fools Theatre is located at 660 N. Heliotrope Drive.
