What Is a Green Room?

• A green room is a space in a performing venue
  that is set aside for performers to lounge in
  when they are not required on stage. It typically
  is set apart from the stage and the audience so
  that the performers can hold conversations and do
  other things without being heard by the audience.
  This room usually is equipped with couches and
  chairs, reading materials and food and beverages.
  It also is a popular place to unwind after the
  show.

Recreational Area Unlike a dressing room
another popular lounging area a green room is
not equipped for preparations to go on stage and
is designed as a purely recreational area. It
also is not usually established with the intent
of being a peaceful and quiet space it is an
area for socializing. Actors who need quiet
before going on stage usually find other areas of
the venue where they can focus or meditate.

Features A modern green room usually includes
video monitors so that actors can be ready for
their appearances on stage. There is often a
separate intercom so that staff members can
communicate with actors. On television shows,
guests and presenters often meet each other in
the green room before the performance, allowing
them to get to know each other or get
reacquainted before appearing in front of an
audience. Some smaller theaters do not have green
rooms because of a lack of space.
