California Theatre (San Bernardino)
- California Theatre (San Bernardino)
The California Theatre is a performing arts venue located in San Bernardino, California. It was originally built as an opera house, the San Bernardino Opera House, in 1882. The original structure was demolished in 1927, and replaced by the current theatre in 1928.
In the early years of Hollywood, filmmakers would test-screen their movies at the California Theatre. Classic films such as "King Kong" and "The Wizard of Oz" were first seen by audiences at the theatre in the 1930s.
The theatre is managed by Theatrical Arts International, the largest theatre company in the Inland Empire, which presents Broadway tours from the national touring circuit, and has hosted the San Bernardino Symphony since 1929. The theatre has recently hosted the tapings of Showtimes "The Latin Divas of Comedy," and "The Payaso Comedy Slam." .
