The Red Square Skiffle
What is a Skiffle?
Well, there are many definitions out there in the webisphere, ours may differ. A skiffle is a musical (in our case, theatre) event where musicians play on rudimentary or improvised instruments, invite their friends, and pass the hat in an attempt to raise funds to pay their rent. We liked the term - it sounds good when paired with Red Square - and adopted it as the moniker for our fund raising events.
What is the Red Square Skiffle?
Starting in the spring of 2010, Red Square Theatre started their foray into the exciting world of fund raisers!! The First Annual Red Square Skiffle was held at L'Etage in South Philadelphia. That first skiffle featured the Delcats - a Delaware based blues band that rocked the house!!! Our second annual skiffle was held this past year at The London Grill in Philadelphia's Fairmount neighborhood. Headlining this skiffle was Red Square Theatre's very own Lunch Lady and Frank. The 2nd annual skiffle was a tremendous success and we look forward to seeing you at our next skiffle - TBA.
