The Players

Performing ArtsNew York, United States11-50 Employees

Founded in 1888, The Players is a club of artists and arts lovers. Members are drawn from careers on the stage and screen, the visual arts, music and literature, as well as patrons of the arts from a wide range of professions. Together, we celebrate the richness of our creative communities with exclusive events and relaxed socializing. 

Our 1847 Gothic Revival style mansion on Gramercy Park is a treasure of the Gilded Age, and the clubhouse was named a National Historic Landmark in 1963. The Players is the oldest New York City membership club still in its original home.

In recent years, the club has experienced its most significant growth in generations, while preserving its tradition of convivial, easygoing friendships among its arts-loving members.
