English term or phrase: Green Room Reception
Hello everyone
I'm looking for the French translation "Green Room Receptions" as a heading for an entertainment and events website, a green room from what I can tell is the sort of actors and artists only lounge, so a bit VIP, where they can organise drinks, receptions, like a "press room party". I find "foyer des artistes" or "foyer des acteurs" but I don't think they use this term to translate the event. I see a few references to "soir�e green room" but I imagine there is another term?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you, I knew this but I needed the name for the reception or party there, which is why the other answerer suggests "réceptions en loge vip" I can't seem to find any reference to "soirée foyer des artistes" or "réception foyer des artistes" so I think it must be called something else.

Explanation:
Je crains qu'il ne faille passer par le franglais s'il faut un ton très moderne: "la fête backstage" ou encore "l'after-party du spectacle" (ouvert à un public payant, je crois).

Sinon on pourrait parler de:
fête dans les coulisses,
cocktail après la tombée du rideau
Tout dépend AMA du contexte et du type de spectacle dont il s'agit.

Reference information:
A green room is a room in a theater, studio, or other public venue for the accommodation of performers or speakers when not required on the stage. Its function is as a break/touch-up lounge so that performers do not have to go back to wardrobe/dressing rooms and are still easily accessible for their call. The term is often attributed to the area historically being painted green.
