THEATER
Classic Americana meets cutting-edge performance at Route 66’s Legends Theater.

A dated performance hall at Route 66 Casino was transformed into the Legends Theater.
This design builds on the Route 66 classic American automobile heritage while seamlessly incorporating modern technology throughout the space. The space inside the theater was reimagined to create a more immersive sensory experience, moving away from stationary lighting and incorporating custom, animated, color-changing decor, adaptable to reflect the style of each performing artist.

Work Performed

For this project, I-5 handled both the design and the construction of the entry marquee, proscenium, and specialty interiors.

Approximately 85% of these custom elements were fabricated offsite, ensuring precision and efficiency for the project.

As a result, the onsite installation was completed in just a few weeks, impressing customers and staff alike with the speed and quality of execution.

The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, both from patrons and the operational team at the casino.
