So has anybody got any tips for this for example how could i EQ the outsied sound to make then realistic, roll off some of the high freq's ??
Any help appreciated

It's pretty impossible to make the theatre itself sound dead (good theatres are designed to be a little bit live on purpose). Remember though that the room will be quite a lot LESS live when an audience is there--a crowd of people really cuts down the reveberation in a room. You've probably already thought of this, but since the characters are in a recording session it seems like it might be ok to have live mics in front of them--practical props so to speak. You could tune your PA level so that you get a very different (but equal level) sound in the room when they are on mic, recording, and off-mic, talking to each other....if the director buys it.
