-Kudago.com (New York)

-Center on the Aisle
"Stet, the new play by Kim Davies at the Abingdon Theatre, is a powerful piece inspired by the Rolling Stone article “A Rape on Campus” and the reporter’s investigation into sexual assault in college. It’s also the first full production of The Muse Project, the brainchild of fierce actress Jocelyn Kuritsky. Stet is a stirring play with big ideas and sensitive, yet bold performances by Jocelyn, Jack Fellows, Déa Julien, Lexi Lapp and Bruce McKenzie."
-Works By Women
"It's Kuritsky's fiery tenacity and the pulse-stopping intensity with which she pairs it that fuel the evening and that makes so many of the scenes such riveting deconstructions of public shame and personal animus."
-Talkin' Broadway
"Jocelyn Kuritsky, who also worked on creating “Stet” with Davies and Speciale, is wonderfully staid as Erika."
-Gay City News
"The captivating Ms. Kuritsky is in every scene of the play and she carries it with her admirable performance. Her excellent characterization of the tough reporter veers from bravado to subtlety."
-TheaterScene.Net
"Ms. Kuritsky’s Erika is rigorous and skeptical as she confronts an unexpected moral dilemma... This complexity is intentional and fully realized."
-New York Theatre Review
"Jocelyn Kuritsky does a fine job playing Erika."
-Theater Pizzazz
"Ms. Kuritsky [as the] hard-as-titanium staff reporter...has several fine scenes."
-The New York Times
"Kuritsky embodies this struggle as the conflicted reporter stuck in the middle of her personal and professional instincts. Her hard-as-nails persona softens throughout the course of the assignment, though she keeps her cards close enough to the vest that we never truly know if it's her principles or her ambitions that are in the driver's seat."
-TheaterMania
"Speciale's production has a lot going for it, beginning with Kuritsky, whose Erika slips into a state of obsession by such tiny degrees that one can barely account for it. She is super-skilled at throwing away lines; even when sitting still, listening to Ashley's phone testimony, you feel that powerful emotions are at work."
-Lighting & Sound America
"Kuritsky does a wonderful job portraying Erika’s transformation from unattached, factual journalist to emotionally involved storyteller."
-Off Off Online
"Kuritsky is staggeringly good... Even without Jocelyn Kuritsky’s virtuosity in the role, Davies has written the type of female lead of intelligence and startling dimension that our American stages need. This is no accident: Kuritsky began The Muse Project to give female performers the opportunity and resources to helm their own dream projects—an admirable reaction to the gender disparity within NYC’s theatre community."
