A quick reminder: This coming Sunday, we are incredibly honored to host a very special cultural event. It is a rare treat to have Polish theater and live spectacles come to the Detroit area, and we couldn’t be more thrilled!

Join us for an evocative performance of “Poezja i Życie” (Poetry and Life), starring the exceptionally talented Agata Pilitowska and Maria Nowatorska. This beautiful spectacle honors the life and works of legendary poet Wisława Szymborska. With this year marking the 30th anniversary of Szymborska receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature, we couldn’t think of a more fitting way to celebrate her enduring legacy.

Date: Sunday, June 14th (Doors open at 2:00 PM)

Language: Performed in Polish. (For our English-speaking guests, masterful translations of the poetry will be provided so that everyone can fully experience and enjoy the beauty of the performance.)

Tickets:
General Admission: $25
Sponsoring Organization Members: $20
Students: $10
(As we would love for you to RSVP, tickets will be available at the door.)

We had a truly spectacular evening last night as we hosted our very first PRL-themed party! It was a night of firsts for us—including parking a classic Fiat "Maluch" right on our dance floor, alongside a fantastic lineup of vintage vehicles out on the front lawn.

We are absolutely thrilled with the turnout. While a tremendous amount of planning and decorating went into this event, it wouldn't have been possible without a lot of wonderful help.

First, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who lent us their personal PRL memorabilia; your generosity is what truly brought our vision to life. Thank you also to our guests who dressed up for the occasion—you added so much fun and authenticity to the night.

A huge thank you to the PLUS band for keeping us entertained with the absolute best hits of the PRL era, and to our sponsors for their generous gifts and donations. As always, we are incredibly grateful to our staff, who fully embraced the theme and looked fantastic doing it.

Finally, thank you to every single guest who joined us. We hope you had an unforgettable evening filled with fun, laughter, and great memories!

Special thanks to Mariusz Nowak Photography for capturing those special moments from last night!

Przygotujcie się na sentymentalną podróż w czasie! Już 6 czerwca organizujemy naszą pierwszą w historii zabawę taneczną w klimacie PRL, która przeniesie Was prosto w pełną nostalgii atmosferę Polski z czasów bloku wschodniego.

Dla tych, którzy wychowali się w tamtych latach, będzie to prawdziwa wyprawa szlakiem wspomnień. Ożywimy klimat retro dzięki muzyce na żywo w wykonaniu zespołu Plus, który zagra klasyczne przeboje idealne do szaleństwa na parkiecie.

Nasze tematyczne dekoracje pozwolą Wam poczuć ducha epoki, ale prawdziwą atrakcją będzie system kartkowy! Jedzenie i napoje będzie można nabyć przy użyciu „kartek”, dokładnie tak, jak robiło się to dawniej.

Zapraszamy na noc pełną radości, historii, tańca i wspomnień. Wspólnie uczcijmy najbardziej kultowe momenty ery PRL, dziś już z uśmiechem, dobrą zabawą i świetnym towarzystwem.
