About
Plays and Players Theatre is a theater and social club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1911, it is one of the oldest professional theater companies in the United States. The theater building was designed and constructed in 1912 by Philadelphia architect Amos W. Barnes as a dramatic school, but soon was used as a theater for Broadway theatre tryouts, known as the Playhouse.
The theater company Plays and Players bought the building in 1922 and has performed there ever since. Murals were added in 1923 by American artist Edith Emerson.
