Conservatory coaches teens Theatre program prepares students for the big stage By HAYDEN SUMLIN | hayden@appenmedia.com SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. — Collegiate musical theater programs from around the country travel to Sandy Springs to audition local youth talent developed by the City Springs Theatre Conservatory. Tucked within the Northridge Commons office park in north Sandy Springs lies the City Springs Theatre Company and its Studios. While some Metro Atlantans are familiar with Broadway-quality productions at the Sandy Springs Performing Arts Center, fewer know about the City Springs Theatre Conservatory. After just two performances during its 2018 inaugural season in the Byers Theatre, the local nonprofit launched its Conservatory to develop the next generation of performers and technicians in musical theater.

Its Area Agency on Aging serves 10 metro coun-
ties, including Fulton and DeKalb. Often, homebound senior clients who seek in-home services through the 1965 federal Older Americans Act are placed on waiting lists while a case manager determines which services and resources are needed, Pellino said. The act
