Much Ado About Nothing
- Weekend Notes
- Stage Whispers
- “Piper’s portrayal of Don John is very effective in terms of positioning the character as an outsider or a misfit and this contrasts nicely with the highly conventional 1950s retro theme of the costuming.”

That Time Everything Went Well And We Were Totally Fine
- Weekend Notes
- “…a tribute to imperfection, nervousness and never having a decent night’s sleep. It’s also a great education about the reality of living with mental illness and the efforts people make to overcome the challenges.”
- ArtSmitten (radio)
- The Westsider
- “…well thought-out, socially accurate, and theatrically entertaining.”

Ophelia Thinks Harder
- Theatre People
- “Jennifer Piper demands attention as the Queen, pertaining completely to contemporary mannerisms and colloquialisms in her blasé yet flamboyant nature with a moment of reclamation of her matriarchy.”
- Beat Magazine (x2)
- Milk Bar Mag
- Tay Around Town
- “When the Queen made her grand entrance into the theatre, she was so striking and imposing – every set of eyes in the theatre was set on her. It was so quiet in the theatre you could have heard a pin drop.”

A Scandal in the Weimar
- Star Weekly (x2)
- Stage Whispers
- “The reverent script gives the female actors a chance to play male characters. Here, those gender changes are important…Once you wrap your head around the twist — it’s not foreshadowed so don’t expect to guess — you’ll ask yourself these questions. Where do I come from? What does ‘my place’ mean?”

The Tragedy of Macbeth
- Beat Magazine
- Shakespeare Oz
- “Jennifer Piper’s commanding presence as Banquo also gives Macbeth clear reason to fear her, triumphing even in death in a powerful staging of the witches’ final vision.”
