Five
plays enter... three plays leave! Each week,
Serial
Killers
presents five stories each ending on a
cliffhanger - and the audience votes on which
three stories will continue the following week!
Began July 2005 Saturdays @ 11pm
Fast
& Loose
is Instant Theater - written overnight, and rehearsed
and performed the next day! By using
the best of Sacred Fools' writers, actors and directors,
as well as guests from other acclaimed local companies
such as
Circle X,
Theatre
of NOTE
and
ZOO
District,
the result is "one of the best theatre
experiences in town!" (BackStage West)
Began
April 1998
Next show: TBA
In
Magnum Opus Theatre,
you'll thrill - and howl
- as an amazingly awful screenplay is presented live, on
our stage. Word for word. Unedited. We
didn't change a thing. Originally the
longest-running serial in
Serial Killers
(36 weeks), now a hilarious show all its own! You'll
fall on the "flood" laughing!
Began December 2007 Fridays @ 11pm
Ten
Tops
is a Very Eclectic Open Performance Event. Ten or more
performers get up to seven minutes each to do
anything they want, from dramatic readings to
sketch comedy to dance!
Began late 1997 Next show: Monday, February 8 @ 8pm
Constant Motion Pictures
was our Monthly Mondays Film Fest! About an
hour worth of short films of all types - and no
fee for filmmakers to submit! Because YouTube is free, but a live audience is priceless.
Contant Motion Pictures ran from
August through October of 2007
Retro Radio
both evokes and gently spoofs the Golden Age of Radio.
Each all-original installment (presented as an episode of
the fictional Biz Billingham Radio Revue) recreates
the fun of radio detectives, cowboys, sci-fi and horror,
complete with live sound effects and ads for other Foolish
shows done in the style of old-time radio ads.
Began July 2001 Next show: TBA
Music
Night
is an occasional night of live music - from
acoustic to rock 'n roll, featuring original
tunes and covers! Sometimes it's a good
long while between shows... but it's always
worth the wait!
Began late 1998
Next show: TBA
360 was our semi-annual Performance Marathon and
Auction! Six hours of the best of Sacred
Fools and friends, along with food, drinks,
dancing, and exciting auction items! So
dizzyingly fun and successful, 360
annually raised over $10,000 for the theater in
just one night! "Fresh, funny, and an
innovative way to enjoy the theater!" (L.A.
Splash)
Slow
& Tight
took some of the best scripts ever written for Fast
& Loose, and gave them a full
production, resulting in an eclectic night of
fascinating short stories that are "told
simply, effectively, with humor and exhilarating
imagination." (BackStage West)
Naked
Holidays
was an occasional frisky holiday treat - a
collection of original short plays about the
holiday season. From thoughtful to risqué
to just plain weird, Naked Holidays dealt
with both the jingled and the jangled.
For five years,
Crime Scene
entertained audiences late-night Saturdays with a
three-way twist of comedic mayhem. With
brand new episodes every single week of three
different, unrelated storylines, the show became
the longest running late-night serial in the world
- eventually engaging the talents of nearly 100
writers and directors, and well over 500 actors!
Visit the
Crime Scene
archives for a wealth of photos, videos and audio
clips!
Crime Scene ran from May 1998 - June 2003
Triple
Crown
was a fun-spirited competition where actors,
writers and directors compete for your
entertainment. And you... you get to choose which
three come back the next week... and which don't!
"A hell of a lot of fun... bravura late-night
entertainment!"
(BackStage West)
Triple Crown ran in the summers of 2003 and
2004
Listen
to This
was one of our simplest and most affecting
series. Each month, host Tom Chalmers
presented four or five guests, each telling true
stories from their own lives, all themed around
a particular topic. Many of the stories
can still be heard in the
Listen
to This archives.
Listen to This ran from Feb 2001 - Mar
2003
Flicker
Cinema
presented original films of all sorts featuring Fools and
their friends. Spiritual forerunner of Constant
Motion Pictures. (There was also a
one-off Movie Night
in November of 2000.)
Flicker Cinema ran from late 1998 -
early 1999
FoOL
was Sacred Fools' resident comedy troupe.
A Friday night fixture for four years, the
ever-changing and evolving group tackled
everything from improv to sketch.
