Atlanta Student Outreach

As part of the ongoing White House A Call to Arts initiative, the Atlanta Organizing Committee has been proactively contacting local and state colleges as well as area high schools and conducting numerous forums and workshops to inform young minds about performing professionally. It has proven to be a great success and is given greater status due to the extent of production currently here in Georgia. We are now creating a new mail merge to further extend our student outreach program accompanied by a letter from President Gabrielle Carteris, helping us to continue the late President Ken Howard’s legacy. 

Additionally, our collective union effort in October of 2016, Lend Me an Ear, a night of old-time radio, raised $3,775 for the Atlanta Community Food Bank, equal to nearly $34,000 in buying power. This much-anticipated annual event always affords the union higher positive visibility. Plus, our very popular Muriel Moore/Danny Nelson SAG-AFTRA Conservatory continues to be a draw for our members and yet another tempting reason for fence-sitters to become part of our organization. Fortunately for us all, we have many new joins here every month and they do include the youth of America, who represent our hope, which is a very good thing indeed.
