About Me

Connie's Ric Rac was originaly a store in the Italian Market in Philly. Joe and Frankie's Mom (Connie) opened it back in the 80's where she sold watches , radios, telephones, walkmen ..etc. When EBAY happened she bought a laptop, shut down the store and left it vacant for years. Dad was going to rent the building to make a MEXICAN LAUNDROMAT . ( Just what the neighborhood needed... psyche) Joe told Dad to let us use the space to build a theater. He gave in and Petey P. went buckwild with the saws and drills and hammers and stuff for 3 weeks ..... and now we are open. Nice size room holds about 100-125 people comfortably. huge ass stage 12x16 . lights, curtains , the whole shabang!! 1132 s. 9th St
