On stage December 8–13
Baltimore, You
Have No Idea.
The hit play by Baltimore columnist Dan Rodricks returns for its final run with new stories, music and more.
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll sigh.
Baltimore, You Have No Idea is Dan Rodricks’ first play and it’s back for a fourth and final run with a few new stories, audience favorites and “The Ballad of the Baltimore Bridge” performed by members of Love Riot. Based on Dan’s more than 45 years as a columnist for The Baltimore Sun, these stories are from the hard streets and sweet spots of Baltimore, vividly brought to life on stage. Touching, emotional and hilarious, this show is a big hit with audiences and has previously sold out every performance.
December 8-13, 2026 for eight performances!

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.”
