“[…] I was essentially just a little simple players’ clubber who used their experience in the players club…

1948-1952 Players Club Alumni
Centennial Documentary Transcript


On November 2nd 1915, a group of students formed the Players Club, an avenue for theatre on the new University campus. Under the guidance of Prof. F. G. Wood, the club rose to prominence as a leading theatre company on campus and in the city.

This exhibit is a celebration of the various aspects of the club. It provides a look at the various events we have hosted over our 100 years. Most importantly, it provides a glimpse into the community that is the Players Club.
