My wife and I went to "Come from Away" and this facility is fantastic. Parking is free, the entire staff is very helpful, ticket offices are helpful with special needs, the building is very wheelchair friendly and the staging and sound quality are magnificent.

Love this place. Flowing colorful water fountain at the main entrance. Comfortable seating in the lobby and on every level for waiting guests. Upper level terrace area is the perfect place for dining before the show. Very clean and well cared for theater. Convenient parking. We attended The Riverdance 25th Anniversary Show at McCallum Theatre. This show and our seats was well worth the price for tickets and the 1-hour drive from Moreno Valley.
