Located in the heart of the old Polish Downtown along Division Street, it is situated in what is considered to be one of Chicago’s more artistic communities.The building of the Chopin Theatre was designed in 1918 by M.F. Strunch Architects as a 987 seat theater at 1541-43 W. Division Street. According to the Theatre Historical Society of America, the theatre’s name has changed named several times over the years from Chopin Theatre to Harding Theatre, back to Chopin Theatre and then to Pix Theatre from 1940-1948. During the next 40 years it went through a number of alternate uses as a banking center, a restaurant and a discothèque. In 1990 the vacant building was purchased by Zygmunt Dyrkacz and gradually restored.Chopin Theatre has produced over 110 of its own productions, mostly from Poland and Eastern Europe, and has hosted performers from almost every state in the U.S. And from over 40 countries.
