The Recher /rɛkɜːr/ is a concert venue in Towson, Maryland. It is located at 512 York Road in the building previously operated as the Towson Theatre, a one-screen movie theater.[1] The Towson Theatre was designed by architect John Ahlers of the George Norbury MacKenzie III architectural firm. It cost $100,000 to build and opened on March 1, 1928.[2] The theatre was sold to the Recher family in the 1950s, who continued running the cinema into the 1990s.[1] They then converted it into an upscale billiard parlor.[2] The building was later transformed into The Recher Theatre, a concert venue, which opened in 1999.
