The board of the association comprised several persons: F. Bartha (chairman), Thomas Lenoch, Leopold Widenka and Johann Struhal.

35% of the amount needed was raised, so the next steps were taken - a plot of land was chosen: a central location at the spot of the former barracks.

[2][3] The ceremonial opening took place on 24 September 1910, when a play by Franz Grillparzer, Waves of Sea and Love was produced.

On 14 December 1920 the first Polish play, a comedy by Aleksander Fredro, Zemsta, was performed by the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre from Kraków.

[3][5] In 1945 the Ministry of Culture and Art created an institution called the Polish Theatre in Cieszyn, the first principal of which became Mr. Stanisław Kwaskowski.

On 18 October 1945 an opening spectacle took place to inaugurate the creation of the new institution - by Aleksander Fredro entitled: Pan Jowialski.

On this occasion a sculptor from Cieszyn, Jan Herma, sculptured for the theatre bass reliefs of Helena Modrzejewska, Stanisław Moniuszko and Wojciech Bogusławski.

[1] A five-story building of a cubic capacity of 16,944 m3 (598,400 cu ft) designed for 770 seats, constructed in the style of late Viennese Baroque.

A ledge, in its projection part, is finished by a pediment with a “kidney window” and a bas-relief in the shape of leaves, tree branches and decorative motives in rocaille style.

The corridor leads also to the theatre back end: depots, wardrobes, the flat of the guard and a doctor's room.

[5] Stucco in the shape of leaves, shells and peacock tails located mainly on the ceiling and the frame of the stage.

[5] The theatre had excellent acoustics - a whisper from the stage was heard in the ninth row on the second balcony, where sound catchers in the shape of a shell were placed.

Thanks to the goodwill of the commanding officer of the Border Guard and the intervention of the festival organizers - the members of the Association of Polish-Czech-Slovak Solidarity, the actors were brought to the theatre and they participated in the performance.

They did not take into account the fact that there would be a long queue to the border checks (reaching the railway station in Český Těšín).

The actors did not have enough time to queue and the queuers, the so-called ants (persons dealing with carrying alcohol and cigarettes from the Czech Republic), did not let them go forward.

The determined actors decided to cross the river by foot and were detained by the Polish Border Guard.
