The New England local kicked off 2017 with a very successful SAG Awards live viewing party on Jan. 29 at Laugh Boston. Nearly 150 members and guests partied and watched the 23rd annual awards show. Guests came together for the red carpet program, which included food, fun, camaraderie, a scoring-card game and prizes. Locally made film Manchester by the Sea was honored with four SAG Awards nominations, including Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. The film, which was shot on the North Shore of Massachusetts, featured 500 local background actors and 40 local actors in principal roles.
