Praise for A Bottom's Dream. Shakespeare in Clark Park.
"Snug is in practical overalls with purple sneakers as a hint to her artistic side...Snug also gets an unexpectedly central role, evolving from a reluctant, stage fright-stricken ensemble member who keeps mistiming her cues to an enthusiastic participant sticking up for her friends, and Kuerzi gives Snug’s arc both warmth and hilarity." -PlayShakespeare
"Jenna Kuerzi’s performance specifically stood out as Snug, a traditionally minor character whose comedic bit is struggling to recall their own lines in the story's play-within-a-play. Kuerzi skillfully warmed the audience to the language and style of Shakespeare, employing a dry affect and imposing healthily pregnant pauses to make room for watchers to find the comedy an intimidating classical format." -Midbrow

"It’s impressive that Jenna Kuerzi manages to steal the show whenever she's on stage. Her transformation from the sheepish Snug to the mischievous Puck is grounded and magnetic. Her singing voice, which is saved for the very end, is stunning." -Broadstreet Review
