Ever since the 1940s, The REX in Leonardtown has been a staple of Southern Maryland.

The REX Theatre, originally known as the New Theatre, was opened on December 10, 1941, by Kenneth Duke. Since the building closed in 1986, it has been used as a restaurant.

Over the past two years, the team has worked endlessly to bring the theater back to its former glory. They wanted to bring a venue to the area to entertain the locals and draw more people to Leonardtown.

The theater will be specializing in hosting spectacular award-winning national and regional acts from across the country, bringing those high-caliber shows you see in major cities, including comedy shows, dueling pianos, and even renting the venue out for weddings and private events.
