Smock Alley Theatre in Temple Bar, Dublin, has two
vomitoria, one stage left and one stage right, as does the
Stratford Festival in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. The
Oregon Shakespeare Festival, for instance, has
vomitoria in two of its theatres, the outdoor Elizabethan Stage and the Angus Bowmer Theatre. The "voms", as they are called, allow actors to mount the stage from halls cut into the amphitheatre. The
Guthrie Theatre in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, has two permanent
vomitoria, one at stage left and one at stage right, of its
thrust stage. The
Circle in the Square Theatre, designed to reflect the theatres of ancient Greece and Rome, is the only
Broadway theatre that has a
vomitorium, which is still used in many of its productions as an entrance and exit for the actors. The
Cockpit Theatre, built in London in the 1960s, is one of the very few purpose-built theatres in the round in London, and features four
vomitoria as corner entrances between four banks of raked seating arranged in a square. The
Chichester Festival Theatre, founded in 1962, was the first of its kind to be opened in the United Kingdom for 500 years, because there is no
proscenium arch or wings. Instead, there is a thrust stage with
vomitoria or "voms" for the audience and performers to enter and exit. In addition, the Mark Taper Forum, one of the three theatres making up the
Los Angeles Music Center, has two
vomitoria. It has a strong thrust stage such that the audience sit in an amphitheatre-type array. Winnipeg's second-largest theatre,
Prairie Theatre Exchange, has two
vomitoria on either side of its thrust stage, with seating on three sides. The Space Theatre at the
Denver Center for the Performing Arts is a theatre "in the round" with a
pentagon configuration. It contains five
vomitoria spaced 72 degrees apart, creating five equal seating sections. == Common misconception ==
