History

The historical California Theatre in the heart of the revitalized downtown San Bernardino plays a major role in providing quality performing arts to the Inland Empire area.

Originally built as a 1928 Vaudeville and Movie Palace, it has, over the years, played host to all of the major stage and screen stars.  Will Rogers made his final stage appearance at the California Theatre.

Currently the California Theatre serves as the performance home for Theatrical Arts International, producing top quality musicals, plays and host to several touring companies, the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra, the Sinfonia Mexicana and Inland Dance Theatre, Inc.
