Benny Pope is a Maryland-based actor and comic. No stranger to Baltimore theater, he decided to adapt and expand part of his standup act into a one-man play, making its world premiere this weekend as part of Arena Players’ 67th season.

The multi-modal trail, called the Big Jump, provides people on foot, bicycle, and more with a way to cross over highways that have long served as a barrier between neighborhoods.
Last August, the Baltimore City Department of Transportation (BCDOT), working with a local bike advocacy group called Bikemore and a national group called PeopleForBikes, installed a rather unusual mobility path using only water-filled traffic barriers.
