Summary/Abstract: A transcript of a meeting of actors from the Polski Theater in Wrocław on 3 September 1980 concerning the creation of a new professional stage artists' union. Postulates are raised to restore the legal and social status enjoyed by the Polish Stage Artists' Union prior to World War II. The basic issue is to redefine the sphere of competencies and duties of a stage director and the theater direction toward the ensemble; an essential issue is the limitation of their authority over the actors. The subject of the clear discrimination between the administrative and artistic functions of the theater is also raised.
