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.”
