BAA Student Promotion Policy

Are you a BAA alumni performing in a show? Presenting a cabaret? Congratulations! We always love hearing of your success and accomplishments! We are so excited to have so many students performing all over the country. Our staff also loves to come to see you perform when we can, so please let us know the dates you’ll be performing when in or nearby NYC.
Please note that in order to be fair to our large BAA alumni population, we cannot actively promote every student event we receive. If you would like for BAA to promote your event via social media outreach, consider offering a unique or special experience tailored specifically to other BAA alumni for consideration (this is often offered as free tickets or a discount code unique to BAA.) For those specific cases, please contact our Media Manager, Scheherazade Quiroga, for details.
