Vomitory
Also known as vom, vomitorium.
A passage or opening that carries audience traffic between seating areas and venue concourses or exits.
In practice
Often shortened to “vom,” the architectural term is neutral; production protects the route from equipment, drape, queues, and effects that would reduce egress or visibility.
