Viewers responded with US$120,000 in donations and the new, all-inclusive programming led to $US15M in additional grants by 2001.Since its inception, the McCallum Theatre has operated as a non-profit organization, with more than 400 volunteers serving as ushers and other staff during performances. An educational outreach program presents private showings of concerts and plays to teachers and their classes.It has become customary for important performers to autograph the wallpaper in the green room and dressing room areas. Among the autographs are those of Jerry Lewis (after his appearance in Damn Yankees), Toni Tennille and Chuck Jones.
