New Globe Theater

New Globe Theater – Located at Broadway and Thirty-eighth, it is an enormous, multi-level theater; the place dripped with class and she imagined Roarke had employed the best minds and talents available to rehab the old building into its former glory.^[1] It has Gothic spires that can be seen from the Broadway View Hotel.^[2]

With its soaring, muraled ceilings, its miles of red carpet and acres of gilt, the theater itself had been redone to Roarke’s exacting specifications. The stage curtain was a shimmering red-and-gold and, on opening night, the play was Witness for the Prosecution.^[3]

Areena Mansfield’s dressing room was large and lush. A long, cream-toned counter held a forest of pots, tubes, wands, bottles, all arranged with soldierly precision. Over it all gleamed a wide triple mirror ringed with slim white lights. There was the daybed, several cozy chairs, a full-sized AutoChef and friggie unit, a trim, mini-communication system. Wardrobe hung in a long closet area; one every table, in groupings on the floor, were flowers.^[4]

The cast lounge was on the lower level. There were two separate seating areas with plush sofas flanked by serving droids. The room bent into an ell, with the short leg offering an AutoChef she assumed was fully stocked, a clear-fronted friggie holding a variety of cold drinks, and a small, separate table with a slick little computer setup.^[5]
