Has a historical history but is a bit dilapidated and needs some updating and improvements, not to mention the area around it is falling apart and riddled with trash, and street people.

Litter run down outside but inside is a beautiful theater and great performance! We saw Sound of Music. Would definitely see another play here.

This theater is well preserved. There were a couple of things I hope will improve; the first being parking, there is an abandoned lot located across the street, but it looks unsafe, so we decided to park in the small lot behind the theater, which filled up quickly. The other issue I had was the long lines for the concession stands. It would have been helpful to have several staff helping those of us who wanted to purchase drinks & snacks.

What a gem in a city struggling to find itself. 100 + year old building full of amazing atmosphere and history, take a moment to just sit and soak that in! The shows are so well done, wonderful for the whole family! I do have one big suggestion?! Please bring the theatrical show "Evil Dead" to the theater!

I have been a season-ticket holder at the California theater in the past. All of my experiences until yesterday have been so good.My friend and I got tickets to see the sound of music yesterday, which I was really looking forward to since I just had a total knee replacement, and was happy to get out of the house. The sound of music is one of my favorite performances and I was so looking forward to it.The performance was excellent. All the actors were good the singing was excellent. However, the behavior of the people in the theater was appalling. People were getting up during the performance standing in the aisle so that you couldn’t see the stage. People were making noise eating in the theater. The family across from us had a child with flashing lights on their shoes, which was like a strobe light on the right side of my face continuously throughout the show. People were talking and just overall being rude.I have been to other theaters and this theater in the past and have never experienced anything like this. I don’t understand why people were behaving like this.It was a Sunday afternoon matinee. There were lots of children. They were talking and moving around eating and going in and out of the theater during the performance which I don’t think should be allowed.I have tickets to see Greece in a couple of weeks. I certainly hope that there is a different crowd at that performance.Very very disappointed.

Our favorite place to watch plays and musicals - season passes are available and parking is free across the street. I've always have a pleasant experience with staff as well.

The theater is incredible, beautiful old art Deco. Seats are very comfortable. There isn't a bad seat in the house. Neighborhoods a little sketchy when you first get there. But then after everybody starts arriving, you realize it's safe. Leave your car out in the parking lot. Looking forward to the next production of greece coming the first weekend in april.

Strongly recommend! Great staff. Beautiful building in San Bernardino. We saw a few plays there. Will definitely go again. They even let you in early for snacks and drinks.
