We rehearsed at one of the member’s homes, but our performances were held at The Players Playhouse, ft was a beautiful space. While still in Detroit, 1 wanted to be as involved in theatre as possible, so 1 became the stage manager/assistant director for a new children’s theatre, which 1 was able to join because 1 was not yet eighteen. 1 was seventeen when 1 started college, so 1 spent one semester at a university near home before going away to school in Chicago. 1 must have passed by the club many times without even realizing it was there. 1 grew up in Detroit, the home of The Players. One of them was “How did you find out about The Players?” (And before you assume that this is a typo, the official name of the club includes the capitalized article “the.”) Even members of the club were surprised that 1 knew about their small organization. During my research on this club, I was asked regularly a few specific ques tions when describing my work.
