Returning in December 2026!
Baltimore, You Have No Idea
You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll sigh. Dan Rodricks’ first play is back for its fourth run with new stories and featuring ‘The Ballad of the Baltimore Bridge’ and the audience favorite Christmas story. “Baltimore, You Have No Idea” is based on Dan’s more than 45 years as a columnist for The Sun. These are stories from the hard streets and sweet spots of Baltimore, vividly brought to life on stage. Equally touching, emotional and hilarious, this show is a big hit with audiences and has previously sold out every performance.
December 9-13, 2026 for six 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.”
