The Players, since 1888, is a private club located in a Greek revival townhouse in Gramercy Park. It was originally home to one of the great Shakespearean actors of 19th century, Edwin Booth. Today, his statue sits in the center of this historical park. He was also the brother of John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln. It was this event that led Edwin to create The Players.
