screen acting guild

To obtain a SAG-franchised agent acting, you need to be in the Screen Actors Guild? (SAG)?

No, but some agents not see the players union or players with many credits that usually means they are already eligible union or SAG atleast. Each agent is different and what you can do is introduce yourself and see if they will call you. If you have someone who will personally direct you to their agent, is the best way forward. If not, try your shipment when things go well for you. If you get the lead show a mail a few weeks before your show opens and invite them to come see you perform.
