green room

green room

In the theatre, a backstage area where performers can relax after a show and receive visitors.

The green room was originally where actors waited for their turns to appear on the stage. It was next to the stage so they could hear their cues. It was also the social centre of the theatre before private dressing rooms were built: plays were read to the company and visitors were received there.
