Into The Woods -Lyric Arts, 2015
"Joseph Pyfferoen and Kelly Matthews bring much humanity to their roles of the Baker and his Wife..." -Cherry and Spoon
"Joseph Pyfferoen as The Baker and Kelly Matthews as The Baker’s Wife bring the most weight to Into the Woods. Obviously, normal couples don’t have to collect items for a witch in order to have a baby, but I felt the most empathic toward their characters than any other." -One Girl, Two Cities

A Hunting Shack Christmas -Yellow Tree Theatre, 2014
"The character of Ham tells the audience he's the comic relief, and understudy Joseph Pyfferoen is just that, committing fully and hilariously to the role of this oddball young man...The entire cast works and plays well together with a great energy, showing no signs of the exhaustion..." -Cherry and Spoon

Sweet Revenge -Centennial Showboat, 2013
"The short plays centers on the dastardly John Livingstone (Joseph Pyfferoen)...It helped that the audience...was seriously into the melodrama thing: cheering for the heroes and booing lustily whenever Pyfferoen announced his evil plans. In fact, they were so into it that Pyfferoen got a round of hisses when he came out to sing his first olio -- and he wasn't even playing the two-faced thief at the time." -City Pages

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee -Theater Latte Da, 2011
"William Barfee (convincingly played by Joseph R. Pyfferoen) has nasal congestion issues and a magic foot, and unexpectedly develops a sweet friendship with a competitor...light(s) up the stage..." -Cherry and Spoon
"William Barfee (Joseph Pyfferoen), whose parade of physical and emotional issues hides a bright young person...plenty of fun with their moments in the spotlight, such as Pyfferoen's Kander-and-Ebb-styled 'Magic Foot'..." -City Pages
" As the adenoidal William Barfee ("that's pronounced bar-FAY") Joseph R. Pyfferoen nicely displays both the ample dose of bravado of the competitor and the deep insecurity that resides beneath." -Pioneer Press
