Starlight Bowl

In Southern California there is no other venue like the Burbank Starlight Bowl with an opportunity to enjoy live entertainment with a view of their city below.

We drew our design inspiration from the power of the site and its physical characteristics. The Starlight Bowl is nestled between two knolls providinga natural setting for an amphitheater. The stage is visioned as an open, flexible platform for the widest variety of entertainers, performers and events. We have proposed a roof space frame structure covered with a translucent material. The roof structure will give the greatest flexibility for lighting, sound and optional back drops to be hung from.

It’s our intent to emphasize the audience’s view of the entertainers and the spectacular background view of the cityscape beyond.
