The Coachella Valley's premier performing arts venue, seating about 1,127 on the southern edge of the College of the Desert campus. The program mixes Broadway touring shows with classical music, jazz, dance, and stand-up comedy. It's worth checking what's on — the programming is consistently better than you'd expect from a desert resort town, and big names rotate through during the winter season when the snowbird audience is in town.
The theatre is named after the founders' connection to McCallum philanthropy; the building is sleekly modern, with good sight-lines and acoustics. Address: 73000 Fred Waring Drive.
