←Recommendations of Plastic Nest

A beautiful metaphor for nesting, the complexity of connection and the struggle to survive. Engaging and effective, a truly wonderful and impactful work!

Vivid piece on how loss, sudden change, and the idea of moving forward/moving on can affect one’s psyche played out by a man and wife as well as a family of birds. Society’s disregard for the environment is reflected by the newlywed couple’s disregard for each other’s needs and the birds’ cheery yet clear struggle for survival. Shows us what might happen when expectations go unfulfilled and the world we build for ourselves betrays us.

A quirky yet realistic portrait of the dissolution of a relationship. Plastic Nest explores how our desire to preserve our pasts can affect our future. A fun, relatable, and soulful play that would be a joy to watch onstage!

Plastic Nest is a play that I truly hope to see onstage soon. Tracy manages to create a world that is highly theatrical with characters (both human and not) that I recognize in my own self and want to learn more about. This play is full of heart and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

It's been a delight to watch Plastic Nest grow from the early drafts I read in grad school to the latest version, most recently workshopped at the HBMG Foundation Winter Playwright's Retreat. Following two couples, one human and the other bird, Plastic Nest paints a picture of romantic relationships that is painfully familiar. As we watch the characters struggle to build their homes amidst upset expectations and strained communication, we see the quiet devastation of the honeymoon period's wane. The human dialogue feels all too true, and the birds offer a quirky take on love and commitment.

Plastic Nest is a beautifully crafted four-hander about the places we try to call home. With talking birds, fertility calendars and packing peanuts, it's both poignant and quirky. A unique lesson in the true cost of building a nest and the exacting price we demand from those who live in it with us.

This is a beautiful, metaphor-filled play that is funny, touching, and poignant. A beautiful story that asks big questions about family, heritage, and what it means to take care of each other, I cannot recommend PLASTIC NEST highly enough.

I love this play! The relationships are just beautiful. The writing is charming without pulling punches, careful but always moving forward. It is a sometimes funny, sometimes tragic story about learning to let go and persevering through life's greatest obstacles.

Potter's story touched my heart. She wrote kind, quirky and funny characters that I have continued to think about for weeks.

This is a beautiful story of two couples, one human and one avian, One is newly married but long together, the other recently mated. Both are feathering their nests while thinking about a next generation. They talk to their partners and each other and share their fears and anger and hopes and desires. This play will charm you, tickle you, and break your heart. I can't wait to see this in production.
