The Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center
The Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center welcomes Spokane-area audiences to year-round music, theatre, and dance performances by Gonzaga students and faculty, regional performers and arts organizations, and national artists and productions.
The new Myrtle Woldson Center was made possible through an extraordinary $55 million gift from the late Miss Myrtle Woldson. Through her generosity and love for the arts, Miss Woldson has provided a state-of-the-art facility where the Gonzaga community and people of Spokane can learn, create, share, and enjoy the performing arts.
