The McCallum Theatre attempts to achieve its targeted objectives through the organization of various educational and entertainment events in the Coachella Valley so as to provide the people with the much needed cultural education and uplift to the upcoming generation.

It all began in May 1973 when a group of Coachella Valley aspiring business, education and cultural leaders organized as Friends of the Cultural Center, Inc., and committed themselves to the creation of a high-tech performing arts center. Their vision was to enhance and enrich the lives of desert residents by making the performing arts available to as many people as possible.

Vision of these few aspiring individuals became reality in January 1988, when the McCallum Theatre saw the face of this earth. It s aim to provide cultural education and entertainment to the children and adults of the Coachella Valley reflects in its name - it is tagged after a pioneer desert family, the McCallum has gained acclaim as one of the country's finest presenting theatres by audiences, entertainers and peers alike.

On April 7, 1988, the Muses 100 was formed to raise funds for the McCallum Theatre by a group of dedicated women, led by Erna Schulhofer. Eminent ladies such as Leonore Annenberg, Betty Ford and Dolores Hope were among the first to join. Almost immediately, the Muses 100 reached the original goal of 100 members.

Shortly thereafter, a new level of the Muses was formed - the Patroness Circle and today there are a total of 348 members. Over the years, the Muses have produced a variety of sold-out events in support of the Theatre.

Last year, the Muses held their first "A Theatre Ball" which was a grand success and one of the top events of last season. Due to popular demand, "A Theatre Ball" is back this season and once again will be one of the top events of the 2008-2009 Season.

In 2003, the Muses unanimously raised the decision to allocate all monies raised for the McCallum Theatre Institute (Education Division of the Theatre) in support of their various arts education programs.

These programs include the annual Open Call Amateur Talent Competition and Dance Under the Stars Choreography Festival, the Aesthetic Education Program, Field Trip Series, Touring Initiative and Summer Session Festival.

These varied educational and cultural experiences are provided to more than 37,200 children in the Coachella Valley annually. To date, the Muses have raised almost $4 million for the Theatre.
