BuildingAccording to the Theater Historical Society of America, Chopin Theatre opened March 1918 and was designed by architects Worthmann & Steinbach. The nickelodeon originally had 546 seats and was operated by Victor Bardonski. In 1923 it was renamed the Harding and seating capacity was expanded to 987. By 1931 it was called Chopin again but underwent another name change to the Pix Theater. The building is located across the Polish Triangle in the area once name as Polish Downtown. In 1955 the building changed to Security Federal Savings & Loan which later moved across the street. When the Dyrkacz Family purchased the building in 1990, it was vacant except for the small 200 sf Eddie's Bistro. The Dyrkacz's have gradually restored the building to its present charm. Today, across three stages, Chopin Theatre presents over 500 events annually ranging from theater to jazz and classical music, literature, film and social events. Notable guests
