Visit our Green Room

Welcome to the first official post from The Green Room, the blog for all things Campus West, Hawthorne Theatre and RollerCity.

What the Green Room hopes to do is give a sneak peek behind the workings of a local theatre - possibly interviewing staff, or customers, or posting little films that may refer to things we have on or not and think it should be shared.

What we hope to do is give you a taste of the people and the atmosphere that goes into making us a unique local resource. And, of course, we'd like your comments - not necessarily about what is on at the theatre, but about anything you think we (or our readers) would like to hear about.
