Green Room Renovations 2014


In early summer 2013, our Chairman Barry Syder had the idea of redecorating the Green Room to make it more welcoming to members. Jane O'Sullivan with the help of several members, including Neil, Simon, Gemma and Ray, redecorated over the summer, well under budget. The curtains were recycled and embellished with staves and comedy, tragedy masks. Daisy designed the signing over the hatchway; bunting was made and tablecloths ordered. Chris Dale's dad rewired the mirror, originally inherited from the old Capitol Theatre in Swan Walk. The result is a comfortable, attractive room where you can partake of teas, coffees, canned drinks, light snacks; hot chocolate in the winter and ice cream in the summer. Members have sponsored baubles to pay for new Christmas decorations. It has become a real hub of talent and friendship. A place for refreshments when rehearsing and socialising when you're not. The Green Room team is Jane & Neil O'Sullivan, Chris Tomkin, Nicky Austin and David Johnson. You're assured of a warm welcome. This is a chronicaling of this transformation!
