as the Waiter + Series Creator, Executive Producer
Jocelyn Kuritsky is an actor, creator/director/producer, and designer.
She is a three-time Princess Grace Award nominated performer; Papermag calls her an "outstanding actor." She is a founder and the actor-in-residence of the Drama Desk Award nominated & Lucille Lortel Award winning immersive theater company, Woodshed Collective; and, along with her colleagues at Woodshed, she is one of the original conceivers of Broadway's Tony nominated KPOP. Jocelyn is also the creator of The Muse Project, dedicated to centering and spotlighting women theater actors. Her award-winning, unorthodox multi-platform podcast series, A Simple Herstory, is produced with Muse and presented by the Obie Award winning theater company, The Tank. Herstory is about the women who have run for President of the United States. Season 1, created at the height of the pandemic, stars some of New York's most accomplished stage performers, including Florencia Lozano, two time Tony nominee Kara Young, two time Tony nominee Daphne Rubin-Vega, Tony and Emmy nominee Kate Burton, and Tony winner Tonya Pinkins, among many more. The team for Season 1 was honored (Artists of the Year) at The Tank's 2022 Gala, and the series was also profiled in Forbes. A theatrical installation with the first season is in development and was featured in the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's 2022 Quills Fest, which won a 2023 Bronze Telly Award. Noted theater critic, David Cote, describes Herstory's first season as an "exhilarating ride."
