BACA Membership Application Form

Membership is open to all who love and support all forms of live performance. You do not have to be a performer or in a performance related field to belong to BACA. We encourage families and friends of cabaret, jazz, musical theatre and all performing arts to join.

Membership costs $40 per year for up to two people in a household or $20 per year for students. Please note: The BACA renewal period takes place during August and September. If you join us for the first time in any other month besides August and September, your membership ends the following August 31st.
