Enter via the Emergency Room entrance. You may need to show an armed guard a photo ID, e.g.  driver's license. Continue in the direction you entered until you come to a large "room"; then look to your right and back the way you came; there are three elevators there.

When you get to the fourth floor, off of the elevator, the auditorium should be right in front of you.
