This party is rougher around the edges, with a focus on S/M, pain, and edgeplay. Demo stations will include knives, needles, or heavy impact, and exhibition scenes may be disturbing or frightening to some. The signature Bruise drink is a cranberry, citrus and passionfruit mocktail or cocktail with edible shimmer!

Come join the Crucible Gamers to play board, card, and video games, or take advantage of all the other options the club has to offer. It's a chill Sunday afternoon, so plenty of time for whatever, and not too crowded, so plenty of room to spread out too.

Games. Come play them. Bring some if you wish. Also bring someone if you wish. Play games.

In tandem with the Gamers, we're inviting crafty kinksters to join us for Kinky Crafternoon at the Crucible. All your hand crafts are welcome - beading, crochet, cross-stitch, embroidery, jewelry-making, knitting, spinning, weaving, etc. Bring your tools/supplies (and any you're willing to share/trade). All skill levels are welcome and skill sharing is strongly encouraged.
We ask that you leave anything especially noisy (power tools), smelly (model glue/paint), or messy (whittling, glitter) at home.

BR Gateway is a special Black Rose meeting intended for individuals (18 and older) who are either new to BDSM or new to the DC kink scene. BR Gateway is designed to facilitate getting your questions answered. Attendees at this event tend to be from diverse ages, backgrounds, genders, orientations, and more — everyone is welcome.  The meeting is an informal discussion and there is nothing you have to bring. Casual or business attire is more appropriate, scene wear is not appropriate.https://br.org/br/gateway/
Gateway attendees receive a coupon for discounted admission to Dungeon 101 and a Black Rose Tuesday night class.
ASL Interpreters are available upon request. Please give us two weeks notice. Email ASL@br.org for more information.
$5 entry fee. Admission is at the door.

Dungeon 101 serves as an introduction into public BDSM play. If you have never attended a public BDSM play event, it can be a bit daunting. The Dungeon 101 class is specifically designed to make you feel comfortable at your first public BDSM dungeon event. Attendees and presenters come from a diverse cross section of the community, all orientations, genders and kinks are welcome. You are welcome to come alone, bring a friend or bring a bunch of friends.

From 7:30 until 8:00 PM will be social time. Starting at 8:00 PM, there will be a talk on scene etiquette and an opportunity to learn about the dungeon itself. Directly following will be a "Exploratorium" event until 11:00 PM where you can try and/or experience many different kinds of play scenes. The idea is for it to be a fun evening for everyone!

No advance tickets are available for this event -  please plan to arrive early and pay at the door.

$10 with Gateway card,
$25 members with membership card,
$35 all others

More experienced folk come on out after 11:00 PM for Open Play. We ask that everyone except presenters keep their toy bags put away until Open Play starts to avoid confusion. No scenes or play permitted during the Exploratorium.

This is an outreach event, you do not need to be a BR or Crucible member to attend.

In order to foster a learning environment, there is no sex allowed at Dungeon 101, and no alcohol is sold. This applies all night, even during open play after the Exploratorium has concluded.

You must be at least 18 years of age. Government-issued photo ID required for entry.
