Want a peek inside one of New York's most exciting space for theater lovers? Here's an extended look at correspondent Perry Sook's tour inside the historic social club The Players on The Broadway Show. It will air nationwide this weekend and in New York City on January 15 at 4:30PM ET on WPIX.
Founded by Edwin Booth in 1888, The Players serves as a private club for both artists and arts enthusiasts. The Gothic Revival-style mansion is located on Gramercy Park South, and the clubhouse was named a National Historic Landmark in 1963. It is home to a slew of exciting items for theater lovers—from Noël Coward 's piano to the room where the Actors' Equity Association was formed back in 1913.
