Believing it was his personal mission to inspire others, Cook, along with his wife, author Susan Glaspell, led the founding of the Provincetown Players in Cape Cod in 1915; their "creative collective" was considered the first modern American theatre company. During his seven-year tenure with the group, Cook oversaw the production of nearly one-hundred new plays by fifty American playwrights. He is particularly remembered for producing the first plays of Eugene O'Neill, Susan Glaspell, and several other noted writers.
