Wendy Williamson Auditorium

“found walled up behind a crack that opened in the 2018 earthquake”

A university auditorium with a famous local haunting: a recurring 'woman in white,' an elevator shaft that leads nowhere, and a fully wired room that staff say was found walled up behind a crack that opened in the 2018 earthquake.

The move: Catch an evening performance here, then linger after to walk the upper-floor hallways and ask the house staff about the woman in white and the walled-up room.

📍 Before you go It is a working venue on the UAA campus off Providence Drive in Midtown, so you get inside by ticketing whatever is on the calendar — concerts, pageants, lectures — and most of the lore lives in the lobby, around its staircases and piano, so arrive early and linger after the show. Campus permit parking is enforced Monday through Thursday; Fridays and weekends generally go unenforced, and a Pay-n-Park vending machine sits in the lot just west of the building. The elevator shaft to nowhere is real: the 1972 building stalled half-built for 18 months and was finished from shrunken blueprints, which is also where the orphaned catwalk came from. Pair it with the wildlife realia collection at ARLIS in the Consortium Library, a short walk across the same campus.
