No need to lurk in the shadows–join us for an evening of high strangeness and unlimited fun as we present our 11th annual LGBTQ+ Youth Prom: We Exist–A Cryptid Convening! Whether your outfit takes inspiration from your favorite unproven creature or you prefer traditional prom attire, we invite you to celebrate your existence at our gathering of Bigfeet, Mothfolk, and other yet-to-be-discovered beings. As the largest affirming prom in Southwestern Pennsylvania, we are proud to offer this inclusive party that provides every young person the chance to make their prom night a treasured memory. Prom is open to all youth ages 13-18 regardless of how they identify and includes dinner, dancing, art activities and much more.

Dandy Andy: Warhol’s Queer History

(pride/prom) Film Screening

Friday, June 20, 2025, 6 p.m.

Four teens are lined up in the foreground, hugging each other while smiling and laughing. Their outfits are formal but not traditional; they wear dresses, suits, and dress shirts accented by silver chains, top hats, pride flag rainbow stickers, and colorful patterns. A large circus tent facade fills the background behind them. They are wearing heavy makeup in clown themes. They laugh, facing each other with their eyes closed in mirth, seemingly ignoring the camera.
