BACA Membership Application Form

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

Membership costs $50 per year for up to two people in a household or $25 per year for students. Please note: The BACA renewal period takes place during September and October, but you will get a full year's membership for $50 regardless of when you join.
