The other day my little sister asked me why we always call the dressing room the Green Room when it isn't even green!
And I have to admit I don't know!
My theatre buddies don't have a clue either.
Now it's bugging me.
Can anyone shed some light on why the room is Green??

Re: why NOT a green room?

Hi Amy,

This subject has been discussed on this page before (nearly two years ago). You might like to go back and look at the old threads:

Why a duck?

-Because you can't cross a bridge with a chicken - that's why a duck!
