Founded in 1910, Detroit s Players club is an all-male club devoted to the production of theater by members for other members enjoyment. Called simply The Players, members of the club design, direct, and act in the shows, including playing the female roles. In Detroit on Stage, Marijean Levering takes readers behind the scenes of the club s private frolics to explore the unique history of The Players, discover what traditions they still hold dear, and examine why they have survived relatively unscathed through changes that have shuttered older and more venerable institutions.
