“I have been an instructor at BAA for over a decade, and I’ve seen numerous students that I have taught go on to be performing on Broadway, TV and Film, and commercially.  BAA is an experience that students return multiple years for because of the relationships they create not only with other students, but with casting directors, broadway performers and numerous agents and managers.  It is the ultimate pre-professional preparation for the world of theatrical entertainment.  I wish I had BAA when I was growing up!”

It was an absolute pleasure to be introduced to so many new and well-trained young people. I especially appreciated the positive feeling that was in the room. All of the kids were supportive of one another and it resonated throughout the studio…we have signed several BAA actors who have been attending your showcases and classes.”
