green room
In show business, the green room is the space in a theatre, or similar venue which functions as a waiting room and lounge for performers before and after a performance, and during the show when they are not engaged on stage.
The origin of the term is often ascribed to such rooms historically being painted green.〔The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, William Morris editor, 1971〕〔Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase & Fable, Millennium Edition, revised by Adrian Room, 1999〕 The modern "green room" is usually not green at all.〔Academy Awards green room decor (not green) (Architectural Digest March 2009 )〕〔Primetime Emmy greenroom (Architectural Digest, November 2009 )〕〔(Architectural Digest-June 2008-"A Winning Design for Oscar" )〕
==Source of the term==
The specific origin of the term is lost to history, which has led to many imaginative theories and claims. One story is that London's Blackfriars Theatre (1599) included a room behind the scenes which happened to be painted green; here the actors waited to go on stage. It was called "the green room." Some English theatres contained several green rooms, each ranked according to the status and the salary of the actor: one could be fined for using a green room above one's station.〔The Concise Oxford Companion to the Theatre, edited by Phyllis Hartnoll, Oxford University Press, 1972, pg 220〕〔(Old theatre days and ways By William John Lawrence via Google Books ) quoting in turn An Actor's Notebook by George Vandenhoff〕
