HMBG Foundation Reading, Austin, TX: performed by (left to right): Tyler Jones, playwright Amina McIntyre, Kelsey Smith, Ann Pittman Zarate (and Baby Z!), Tracy Held Potter (playwright), Michael Reyna.

On Saturday, April 7, 2018, HBMG Foundation hosting a live reading and audio recording of my drama “Plastic Nest” that had previously been developed at their National Winter Playwrights Retreat. Although I had been developing this piece for three years, this reading allowed me to hear something that hadn’t come across before and now I’m rewriting the first act to strengthen the male lead.

Thanks to Trinity Street Players for hosting and to Ann and Manuel for making this possible!

Honored to announce that my play “Plastic Nest” was selected as a Semifinalist for the Playwrights Foundation‘s 2018 Bay Area Playwrights Festival. They received nearly 700 submissions for this national festival, and I’m delighted that this play got so far in the process.
