Conservatory Ups Its Game

The SAG-AFTRA Muriel Moore/Danny Nelson Conservatory held its seventh anniversary celebration on May 6. The event, Agents Roundtable Atlanta: Upping the Game, included 21 of Atlanta’s 24 franchised agents, with 11 agents participating in the panel discussion. Ten more were introduced to the standing room-only crowd and, along with the panelists, stayed to meet and talk with audience members after the discussion.

The conservatory anniversary event is the one night each year where the doors are open to all, union and pre-union alike. Like all conservatory events, the celebration was free to all. The conservatory simply asks that everyone who attends an event bring a food donation for the BCM Food Pantry. This year’s 1,037 attendees contributed just shy of 2,000 pounds of food to the food pantry, showing once again what a supportive acting community exists in Atlanta. It was an amazing, information-filled evening. As one participant said, “A lot of jewels were dropped tonight!”
