Craig Buckley - President & Chief Creative Officer

Craig is the President and Chief Creative Officer of Street Meet Promotions, renowned for his pioneering contributions to the Broadway street team industry. With over 25 years of experience, Craig has excelled in creating and leading some of the most successful Theatrical Street Teams nationwide, including the innovative launch of costumed teams in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York City.

Since founding Street Meet Promotions in 2012, Craig has proudly represented over 200 shows. He played a vital role in the post-COVID re-launch of Broadway, expertly leading his team of over 150 members to manage front-of-house operations and guest verification at 13 Broadway theaters.

One of Craig's unforgettable moments was sharing a backstage elevator ride with Liza Minnelli and a bottle of champagne at Radio City Music Hall.

Before establishing Street Meet Promotions, Craig honed his expertise as a Marketing Manager at Disney Theatrical, Cirque du Soleil, and ABC.

John Paul Venuti - Acting Vice President Operations

John Paul made his way to NYC fueled by a love for theater. After spending time both on stage and in front of the camera, he decided to step behind the scenes. For more than 20 years, he’s been leading Broadway street teams and getting creative with guerrilla marketing. With his knack for training and development, plus his insider knowledge of NYC’s restaurants and hotels, John Paul helps create some really cool and unique activations.

One of his favorite moments was when he got pulled on stage to dance with Alan Cumming, who told him he’s got some great rhythm! That’s a highlight that sums up his playful spirit.

When he’s not working, you can find John Paul globe-trotting. He’s been to all seven continents and loves discovering new places, diving into local cultures, trying out delicious food, and soaking up all the history.

And if he’s not traveling or working, you might catch him at bingo! He’s a regular at bingo nights, especially enjoying the bimonthly games at Nordstrom—who knew department stores could host such fun?!

Ashley Bacon - General Manager

With a dynamic background in guerrilla marketing for independent films since 2013 and extensive experience in staffing, Ashley Bacon brings a wealth of creativity and expertise to her role as General Manager.

A true theater enthusiast, Ashley cites Bernadette Peters' performance in "Rose’s Turn" as the defining theatrical moment of her life. Her passion for the arts extends beyond the stage; she fondly recalls attending David Hare’s "Skylight" starring Carey Mulligan and Bill Nighy. During this memorable performance, she found herself in a lighthearted "negotiation" for seat space with fellow audience member Ewan McGregor, who has long been her celebrity crush since "Moulin Rouge." Their playful exchange culminated in a memorable conversation about the play, which she remarked upon with utmost enthusiasm.

Ashley made her way to New York City with a dream and a guitar—though she humorously admits that she no longer owns the guitar. Outside of her professional endeavors, she enjoys indulging in her favorite pastime: watching films.

When it comes to NYC tourist traps, her guilty pleasure is savoring the delightful cheesecakes at Eileen’s Special Cheesecake in SoHo.

Hyten Davidson - Communications Coordinator

Hyten Davidson serves as the Communications Coordinator for Street Meet after transitioning from a Team Lead in 2022. She joined Street Meet in 2021 when the company united with the larger theater community to reopen Broadway post-lockdown. Originally from Virginia, Hyten attended The Hartt School Conservatory before moving to Chicago to pursue acting and writing.

Now residing in Astoria, she enjoys the warmer climate of NYC compared to the frigid Chicago winters. Outside of work, Hyten loves watching horror movies, keeping up with her energetic son, and helping her dachshund stay fit.

One of her favorite hidden gems in NYC is the speakeasy tucked behind a wall in an ice cream shop on the Upper East Side.

Tim Regan - Senior Team Lead

Tim is a proud Jersey native and has been an integral part of Street Meet Promotions since its inception in 2012, starting as a brand ambassador and now serving as the Senior Team Lead.

Growing up in New Jersey, New York City has always felt like his backyard. Tim's favorite theater moment was handing Kristin Chenoweth flowers after her opening night performance.

Outside of work, he’s an avid runner, participating in Spartan races, as well as full and half marathons.

While not exactly hidden, Tim recommends visiting the High Line—a perfect spot for a sunny day walk.

A Gage - Team Lead

Ashley Gage, known as Gage, is a Team Lead at Street Meet Promotions. Joining the team in October 2021, Gage initially worked in Covid Compliance across 13 Broadway theaters. After that role ended, Gage stayed on with the flyering teams for two years, working both on the street and at TKTS. In July 2023, Gage was promoted to Team Lead.

Having seen a first Broadway show at 16 with tickets from TKTS, Gage finds it fulfilling to help others discover the magic of their first Broadway experience.

A memorable theater moment for Gage was a chance encounter with BD Wong at the Shubert Theater, where he complimented Gage's outfit.

Gage moved to NYC to pursue acting and enjoy the city's diverse food scene. Outside of work, Gage loves dancing with What the Float on weekends.

A favorite hidden gem is Flats Fix Taco Y Tequila Bar near Union Square Park, known for the best burritos in the city.
