If you are a member of The Players Club join ‘a certain club’ on Thursday to celebrate Thanksgiving at the private social club. Open only to members, the event consists of a traditional Thanksgiving buffet and drinks.

The Player Club is a private social club founded in 1888 by Edwin Booth, the most celebrated American actor of his time. Booth believed in a certain club “for the promotion of social intercourse between the representative members of the dramatic profession and the kindred professions of literature, painting, sculpture and music, and the patrons of the arts.” Today the tradition continues at the Gramercy Park mansion, 125 years later.

All candidates for membership must be proposed by current members of the club. However, the Membership Committee can assist in the admissions process, should you not have a Proposer.
