    If you are looking for something fancy to do this Saturday night you might want to check out the Q Ball.  This is the gala fundraiser for Quantum Theater.

    Quantum Theater has been staging performances in Pittsburgh since 1990 and brings theater to unusual Pittsurgh places.  Quantum has staged over 50 productions in Pittsburgh – each in a unique location.

    From PopCity Media:

    Situation theater: For two decades and counting, homegrown theater company Quantum has been presenting compelling site-specific productions within some of the city’s most distinct settings—from Allegheny Cemetery and Heppenstahl Steel Mill, to the Garden Theater and Frick Art & Historical Center. The ever fearless company has even produced plays inside a pool housed within Braddock’s Carnegie Library.

    Attack Theatre is an award winning Pittsburgh based dance/music/video perfomance group. The Dirty Ball is their annual fundraiser that is now in its fourth year. I have not yet attended the Dirty Ball but I can say with certainty that I have heard rave reviews from many people who have attended in the past. The attire for Dirty Ball is open to your interpretation – anything from garbage bags to the more risque outfits.
