Julia, Duke, and Sir Eglamour in The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Treehouse Shakespeare Ensemble, dir. Kelsey Harrison and Beth Somerville
"[Potter's] Julia, meanwhile, was the production’s heart...and displaced her unsurety onto the audience endearingly, first tearing up the letter that Lucetta had pointedly dropped and picked up in order to make a point, and then desperately sharing her piecing-together of the letter with the audience. But Potter’s Julia also had a fine line in self-aware wryness; no-one was a bigger critic of Julia than Julia herself."
- Peter Kirwan, The Bardathon
The Hermit, Bishop, 2nd Gentleman, and others in The Birth of Merlin
Treehouse Shakespeare Ensemble, company directed
"The only person who had authority to stand up against Artesia seemed to be the Hermit (Potter in a hilarious grey beard and brown habit). The Hermit stood as a defiant moral compass in the production’s first half...paving the way for the greater magician who would follow him."
- Peter Kirwan, The Bardathon

Treehouse Shakespeare Ensemble, dir. Doreen Bechtol and Molly Seremet
Earl of Kent and Musician in Edward II
Treehouse Shakespeare Ensemble, dir. Michael Manocchio
"It was left to Kailey Potter’s Kent to try and insert order into this court. However informal his surroundings, Kent stood as rigidly as any of the opposing nobles, both emphasising his importance as Edward’s de facto bodyguard (in one fun moment, he snatched away the toy sword that young Prince Edward was waving around) and also prefiguring his defection to the opposing army. Before the defection, though, it was Kent who took point when the two sides faced off against one another..."
- Peter Kirwan, The Bardathon
