Michelle's & Don's replies explain the theatrical origins of the phrase "Green Room" pretty well (a nick-name for the common-room area in a theatre), but perhaps we can't assume that Marianne is asking about that.
It occurs to me she may have arrived at this website as a newbie and was asking why THIS PAGE is named "The Green Room", and what it's purpose here is?
Of course (if that was the case), she can now put two and two together as to why we call it this - a common area for actors to gather and gossip about whatever we need to gossip about.
As to its purpose...? Well, from reading these posts, that answer is often rather more vague...
Cheers,
