The history of the plebiscite

The idea of awarding actors of the S. Zeromski Theatre came about in the early 1970s at the editorial office “Echo Dnia”; readers of the newspaper awarded the “Wild Rose” (Dzika Róża) to the best actress or actor of the season. As a result of political changes and random events, the realization of the idea of the “Wild Rose” was postponed. In 1992 it was renewed in a modified form: all local media was invited to participate in the organization of the plebiscite, and over a week the audience had the opportunity to see all the premieres of the ending season.

Both journalists and the public awards their own “Wild Rose”. Season 2015/16 was the first in which „Wild Roses” were also awarded to directors of the best plays – by the opinions of the public and journalists.
