The Quadrangle Players is a play-reading society founded more than 50 years ago in the Hyde Park area of the city of Chicago, Illinois. Many of the founders were connected to the University of Chicago and resided in the neighborhood surrounding the campus.

The membership shared a love of the theatre and an interest in investigating dramatic literature. They gathered one Sunday evening per month from October through May to present a play chosen and cast by a volunteer producer. Minimal movement and props were part of the production. The play-reading evenings took place in members’ Hyde Park homes, with supper following the performance. In the early days, the dress code for men was white tie; after World War II, black tie prevailed.

Today the Quadrangle Players continue in much the same way but the members reside all over Chicagoland.
