The Towson Theatre opened on March 1, 1928. The architect was John Ahlers of the George Norbury MacKenzie III architectural firm. Cost of building the theatre was $100,000. It was equipped with a Kilgen 2 manual 4 rank theatre organ.
The Towson Theatre was twinned in April 1984. On October 13, 1988 it was taken over by Loews and was closed on July 3, 1992. It was sold to the Recher family who turned it into an upscale billiard parlor. It was de-twinned and reopened on March 11, 1999 as the Recher Theatre and functioned as a concert venue. By 2019 it had become a nightclub named Torrent Nightclub.
Taddrarite, bats. Three women who have lived their lives as bats, enclosed in a metaphorical darkness, in the shadows of violence and domestic bullying. An unspeakable truth revealed during a funeral wake for one of their husbands.
