The Nest [Production Company] The Nest is a 501(c)(3) non profit theatrical production company. Volunteer run and sustained by community donations, The Nest has become a safe landing place for wandering artists en-route to discovering the root of their artistic integrity. There is no other theater company quite like The Nest in Los Angeles. Not only do we produce theater productions, we host classes, workshops and artistically diverse events weekly at our home base in Beverly Hills, showcasing theater, music, poetry, comedy and visual art. Our budding outreach programming provides theater education and performance opportunities to the elderly, blind and disabled communities throughout Los Angeles. The Nest was hatched from humble beginnings as a play reading circle called “Noisy Nest”, founded by Amanda Bird in 2012. With a desire to further serve the community at large, Noisy Nest evolved into the home of The Nest, and is renowned as a safe landing place for wandering artists en-route to discovering the root of their artistic integrity. The Nest is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in November 2022 by Amanda Bird and Lynne Mannino. Without funding for legal assistance, Lynne and Amanda personally navigated and completed the nonprofit formation process—a testament to their tenacity and commitment. Join us for our future events, classes or outreach programming. @Noisy_Nest
