The Players

Founded in 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. 2025/2026 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Officers and Executive Committee: President: Townes Coates 1st Vice President: Roy Jackson 2nd Vice President: Astra Williams Secretary: Jack Rucker Assistant Secretary: Lansing Moore, Jr. Treasurer: Glauber Barbosa Assistant Treasurer: Matt de Ganon Managing Chair: Mark Orsini Board Members: Lauren Andree, Eric Ellenbogen, Keli Goff, Karen Madden, Tom Moore, Charles Morey, Justin Dylan Nastro, Sonia O'Mara, Chris Pfaff, James Sabetta, Tom Saporito, Courtney Thomasma, Heather Winters Senior Professional Staff: Jonathan Masel | General Manager Eileen Mulligan | Asst.
