Abingdon Theatre Company will present the world premiere of Kim Davies' Stet in collaboration with the Muse Project, with previews beginning in June for a limited off-Broadway engagement. Tony Speciale is set to direct the play, which marks his inaugural programming as artistic director.

Conceived by Davies, Speciale, and Jocelyn Kuritsky, Stet is a new play inspired by true events. The plot follows a young reporter who is assigned to write about sexual assault on college campuses and must also find a unique angle for the story that will sell. During her investigation, an encounter with a student alerts her to what looks like the cover-up of a terrible crime — and a perfect cover story for her magazine.

Cast and creative team are to be announced.

The Muse Project is a curated salon series in which a selected female actor is invited to take on a project of her own design. The 2015-16 season is the first, experimental year of the Muse Project. Selected actors will be provided with resources, money, and time to develop, rehearse, and present. Jocelyn Kuritsky is the conceiver/founder of the Muse Project.
