While he was using one, he would send the other to the site of his next performance. Due to his untimely death, the curtain before which he performed last remained with the California Theatre where the artifact stays to this day, and two memorial murals by Ken Twitchell grace the exterior of the fly loft. The California Theatre also named one of its reception spaces the Will Rogers Room.
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.
