Coming March 2026: A New Play by Baltimore Columnist Dan Rodricks
Mark your calendar, tickets go on sale October 19.
Longtime columnist Dan Rodricks completes his trilogy of plays about Baltimore with a historic drama set in 1966, the year the Baltimore Orioles won their first American League pennant and World Series.
While the city cheered a championship team led by the great Robinsons, Frank and Brooks, racial tensions were heating up, challenging a progressive Republican mayor, Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin, to keep peace in his last hurrah at City Hall. “No Mean City: Baltimore 1966,” is on stage in the Meyerhoff Theater of the Baltimore Museum of Art, March 2026.

Best Playwright: Dan Rodricks
Baltimore Magazine’s Best of Baltimore, 2024
“Just because you can write a column doesn’t mean you can write a play, let alone act in one. Well, turns out the Baltimore Sun’s longtime columnist Dan Rodricks can do it all” with the playwright presiding over the proceedings “like some larger-than-life Jimmy Breslin.”
