2025 Evening of Elegance
The Chicago Society of the PNA cordially invites you to join us at our Evening of Elegance. The gala event will be held on Saturday, January 25, 2025, at the Ridgemoor. Country Club, 6601 W Gunnison St, Harwood Heights, Illinois. During this event, we will install the 2025 Officers and Directors.
​
This year, we are honoring the Teatr Nasz, a Polish theatre based in Chicago. Its members have been performing for the Polish communities in Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, and Missouri for seven years. Teatr Nasz is made up of women. Some of them started their work on stage in the adult group of the Agata Paleczny Theatre Workshops. In 2017, Andrzej Krukowski took over the group, which is how TEATR NASZ was formed. It has been run by Andrzej (artistic director) and Aldona Olchowska (manager). As a theatre, members create performances organically in unusual spaces. They are brave and uncompromising and are not afraid of challenges. This is a theatre that is eternally searching. It promotes what is original, timeless, and universal in Polish writing overseas, and its plays are the subject of many discussions and even polemics.
​
We will also present Anthony Kawalkowski with the Romuald “Ro” Matuszczak Member of the Year Award.
​
The evening will start at 6:30 pm with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. Music will be provided by KBE Entertainment. Tickets for this event will be $200 per person which will include a dinner choice of Sliced Beef Tenderloin & Roasted Chicken Breast, Roasted Chicken & Herb & Citrus Salmon or Parmesan Crusted Cauliflower. Black-tie is optional for this event but always welcome. Look out for the invitation in the near future.
​
We will also have a program book for this event.
