Pittsburgh, Pa (January 16, 2017) True T Entertainment presents the fourth annual Galaxy Ball - Rumor(s) on Saturday, April 1, 2017 at Ace Hotel Pittsburgh. Best described as a hyper-queer extravaganza, the Galaxy Ball continues to bring underground Ballroom culture and HIV/AIDS awareness to the forefront, featuring yet another fictional story focusing on Rumor(s).
"Unlike traditional balls, Galaxy serves the underground LGBTQ ballroom community and brings it mainstream for all to enjoy." - Pittsburgh Post Gazette Seen Column
We welcome you to the “Galaxy”, an unconventional performance series told through a fictional story. This interactive event evokes high energy, alongside historical ballroom culture, where the most creative of the creative come together for one night only, battling for trophies, cash prizes, bragging rights, and fun. Originally created in collaboration with the Pittsburgh AIDS Task Force, the Galaxy Ball raises national awareness to the ongoing HIV/AIDS epidemic offering free and confidential testing through PATF.
"COME ON, VOGUE. LET YOUR BODY MOVE TO THE MUSIC." - Madonna (Vogue, 1990)
The Annual Galaxy Ball series celebrates the Ballroom Community, a Black and Brown LGBT underground sub-culture that for decades has been popularized by some of your favorite celebrities (example(s): Madonna, Queen Beyonce', and Tamar Braxton) . Over the course of the past three years the annual Galaxy Ball series has invested more than $20,000.00 into our local tri-state Ballroom community.
Ace Hotel Pittsburgh is the official host hotel for the Galaxy Ball. For $99 rooms, use promo code "HOTMASS" when booking at www.acehotel.com/reservations/pittsburgh . All rooms feature one king or queen bed, with space for two friends.

ABOUT TRUE T ENTERTAINMENT
True T Entertainment serves as a community platform for LGBTQ Resource Sharing, Queer Arts, and Entertainment.
True T Entertainment was founded in 2010 by 2 aspiring LGBTQ futurists who came together in efforts of filling a void in the local Pittsburgh, POC LGBTQIA community..
As young black gay men, co-founders, John Easter and Duane Binion realized the lack of necessary connections to resources, and safe spaces that offered education and entertainment. We have found too often that in this lifestyle our people feel disconnected from society and often give up hope in succeeding in life due to the lack of mentorship, comfortable spaces in which they can be 100% themselves without fear of being bashed or ridiculed, and everyday resources such as HIV/STD prevention and awareness, employment assistances, healthy productive activities to keep fit, and engagement in positive doings. Through our endeavors we have managed to host various events, as well as partner with many local non-profit organizations (such as Pittsburgh Aids Task Force, Garden of Peace Project, Project Silk, Roots Pride, Kelly Strayhorn Theater, and more) .
