Rozśpiewana widownia w Utica.
Owacje na stojąco i prawie trzy tysięczny chór widzów śpiewający z nami
wiązankę popularnych melodii amerykańskich. To wrażenia z ostatniego
koncertu 16.listopada.
Stylizowana barokowa architektura Stanley Theater to wyjątkowe i efektowne
miejsce na spektakl. Na tej scenie występują najróżniejsze formacje artystyczne, ale nasza "rewia" wzbudziła ogromne zainteresowanie.

A Singing Audience in Utica
Standing ovations and a three thousand choir of spectators sang with us the medley of popular American melodies. Those are the impressions of our most recent concert.
The stylized baroque architecture of the Stanley theater makes it an unique and effective performance venue. Many famous artists have graced this stage, but our "revue" aroused an immense interest.
The residents of Utica a special sentiment towards Poles. Near the Stanley Theater is a monument to Poland's famed astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus sculpted by Bogdan Chmielewski.
From this point forth "Mazowsze" will have a special bond and connection with the residents of Utica, as the monument of our founder Tadeusz Sygietyński located in the park of our compound/headquarters in Karolin is also designed by Professor Chmielewski.

Kopernik monument
The Mikolaj Kopernik monument, located in a small park on Genesee Street across from Fountain Elms in Utica, NY, honors the "Father of Modern Astronomy," known to Americans as Nicolaus Copernicus. He reformed astronomy and initated modern science by putting an end to the belief that the earth was the heavenly center of the universe.
Copernicus pointed out that the sun was the center of of the planetary system and instead of being stationary the earth revolved around the sun in the course of a year while rotating once every 24 hours about the axis. This thinking might have appeared somewhat strange to some in his day, even a bit radical. Right before he died, in 1543, his book was published, titled -- "De revolutionibus orbium coelestium" (On the Revolutions of the Celestrial Speres), which is often regarded as the starting point of modern astronomy. He was born in Torun, Poland in 1473. He was also a mathematician, physician, artist, clasical scholar, dipomat and an economist.
The Stanley Theatre
Thomas Lamb, a prolific theatre architect, designed this 2,963 seat movie palace for the Mastbaum chain of theatres. The theatre was named for Stanley, one of the Mastbaum brothers.
The Stanley was built in less than 13 months on the expanding southern edge of downtown, some four blocks away from Utica’s theatre district. Unfortunately, all the theatres located there were razed during the Urban Renewal era of the 1960s and 70s.
The Stanley remained open through all of this, though it suffered many years of benign neglect. In 1974, when
the threat of destruction became very real, the Central New York Community Arts Council spearheaded a campaign to acquire the property, which it did for $135,000.

More recent performances include Aretha Franklin, BB King, The Indigo Girls, Judy Collins and legendary songwriter Burt Bacharach. Additionally, the Broadway Theatre League brought in National Touring productions of Cats, Annie, Evita, Sweeney Todd, and Barnum, just to name a few.
