THE longest-serving member of staff at Theatre Royal Plymouth has shared her memories from both sides of the stage door as part of the venue's 40th anniversary celebrations.
Sadie Norsworthy started in the green room in 1984, just two years after the theatre was first opened, and is now welcoming audiences in as an usher, having reached 38 years' service.
Sadie spent more than 20 years in the green room, with the result that she was able to greet many of the country's top actors who she said became like 'old friends!
She said: "On my first day, I remember the catering manager saying 'we have lovely actors that come in and we like to look after them and spoil them a bit. That was second nature to me. We always made them feel very welcome.
"We'd see actors come back after a few years away and it was like greeting old friends again. Just a joy.
"The green room is a very important part of the theatre and working there was never a chore, it was a delight."
