The Dirty Ball
April 18
135 51st Street, Lawrenceville
Attack Theatre's The Dirty Ball returned for it’s fourth year and more than 900 revelers enjoyed four titillating Attack Theatre performances, the salacious sounds of DJ Soy Sos and Justin Hopper, luscious libations from Pinnacle Vodka, Barefoot Wine, and Yuengling, irreverant art installations by Dr. Sketchy and CMU's Entertainment Technology Center, and of course, dirty dancing all night long.
A special thanks to all the Dirty Donors, volunteers, sponsors, crew, performers, staff and dirty attendees who made this event an enormous success!
