You got two things to deal with: Flourescent lighting, which often gives an orange tint to digital images and not enough of it (light that is).

The flourescent lighting can be dealt with by setting the white balance on your camera. If your camera doesn't support that, then you can do it as post process. Nikon's Capture editor offers several different ways of doing this and I'm sure Canon, Olympus etc got their own way of dealing with this.
Alternative, you can add a filter to your lens, either the A81 or A82, which will compensate for the orange tint, with minimal lightloss.
As for speed & light, if you have an analog camera, you need to use a higher ISO film and a faster lens.
I now use a Nikon 50mm F1.4, which enables me to shoot with an ISO of 200-400 and at least 1/60 sec exposure, which easily enables actions shots:
