Lavish Polish Musical Production to be staged at CCSU

NEW BRITAIN – May 2, 2008 – A gala evening of popular Polish music that includes authentic costumes and lavish sets is scheduled May 15 at Central Connecticut State University.  The program includes an English narration, designed to make the production more accessible to non-Polish speaking audience members.  The 7 p.m. event, at CCSU’s Torp Theatre, located in the Lawrence J. Davidson Administration Building, is free and open to the public. 

Presented by the S.A. Blejwas Chair in Polish and Polish-American Studies as part of the Annual Godlewski Evening of Polish Culture Series, the CCSU performance will be produced by the Polish Theater Institute.  It is titled “The Shop of Songs” (Kram z Piosenkami).

The ambitious and rarely staged production traces Polish music through several centuries and has been described as “a tour of Polish popular culture in song and music.”

Parking is available without charge in CCSU garages and surface lots and refreshments will be served.  For further information call the CCSU Polish and Polish-American Studies Department, (860)  832-3010 or contact jacquesm@ccsue.edu.
