Celebrities and community leaders recently attended a private opening soiree for Atlanta's newest concept lounge -- The Green Room Lounge. Nestled in the pockets of Buckhead, The Green Room Lounge takes its inspiration from the iconic LA-based Samuel French theater and film bookshop.
The Green Room is the creative vision of actress, producer and owner Terri J. Vaughn and is co-owned by business manager and attorney Shannon K. Nash, film producer Roger Bobb (BobbCat Films) and retired NBA Player, Adonal Foyle. An actor's haven, The Green Room Lounge will serve as a specialty theatrical bookstore and performance space.
“My goal is to provide a supportive and nurturing community for Atlanta based talent where they can feel a sense of camaraderie that I so deeply fell in love with during my seventeen years living in Hollywood, as well as a haven for out of town actors to unwind while filming in Atlanta. Actors are interesting creatures and we have interesting needs and I plan to serve those needs and more at The Green Room Lounge,” states Terri J. Vaughn.
The Green Room will offer a slate of acting classes for the community taught by some of the most sought after actors and instructors in the business. In addition, there will be acting classes for special needs kids through a partnership with Actors for Autism, as well as a variety of specialized classes related to the business of the entertainment industry.
About the beneficiary organizations: Take Wings Foundation founded by Vaughn supports youth in the San Francisco Bay area, and Colored My Mind improves the lives of children and adults affected by autism and educates the public about autism and related neurological disorders, particularly in the African American and Latino communities. Colored My Mind was founded by actress Tisha Martin-Campbell, music manager Tammy McCrary, educator Donna Hunter, attorney Shannon Nash, and homemaker LaDonna Hughley.
