Griffith’s spritely portrayal sets a standard that will be hard for anyone to match. Bounding gracefully, she captured the character of Oberon’s servant that tickled the audience until in the final scene, when she changed the mood with her melodic opera voice and violin that brought the house to tears of joy.
Jerry Woolpy, The Scott Reed Theatre
As a performer, collaborator, and director – Joni’s work as been seen throughout the state of Minnesota, as well as Wisconsin, Indiana, and Iowa.
“..a rendition of “My Hometown” by Leif Hove and Joni Griffith (who’s also the MVP of the show’s acting corps) is quietly haunting.

A standout among them was fiddler/soprano Joni Griffith as Circe — seductively pulling English subtitles from her hair and blouse.
Rob Hubbard, Star Tribune
Most winning is Griffith, hilarious, in every one of her scenes. Her vibrant delivery of Reynolds’ lines is matched with spirited physicality.

Everyone in the cast is truly a delight to watch, including Anna Pladson and Joni Griffith as Argan’s daughters

“Joni Griffith, as Servillia Jean King, plays the tennis star’s love of the limelight with campy gusto.”
