Directing
"Southern Fried Nuptials director Jennifer Goff's brilliance was on full display throughout the entirety of the play. The play took fans through a roller coaster of serious, funny, and sad emotions through the extent of the production which highlighted Goff's excellent directing skills." - The Advocate Messenger - Review: Southern Fried Nuptials - Pioneer Playhouse
Barefoot in the Park is "a buoyant party of a play... Director Jennifer Goff has created an energetic and touching production." - Ubertati - Review: Barefoot in the Park - The Distracted Globe
"Bad Dates could easily be one of the funniest shows in Greenville this season... She [actress Anne Kelly Tromsness] adds weight to this weightless but irresistibly funny play expertly directed by Jennifer Goff." - The Greenville News - Review: Bad Dates- The Warehouse Theatre
"Tony Award-winner Mary Zimmerman has adapted the famous collection of Persian, Indian and Arabic tales, "The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night," for the stage. Under Jennifer Goff's direction a youthful and energetic undergraduate cast has great fun performing it - and that fun is shared by the audience." - New Monitor - Review: The Arabian Nights - Wayne State University Bonstelle Theatre
"It should be noted that this is an undergraduate production, expertly directed by Ph.D. student Jennifer Goff, so none of the actors look as old as their characters are supposed to be. That aside, the performances are all of a caliber that makes the illusion work - these are real people in real situations." - New Monitor - Review:Trouble in Mind - Wayne State University Studio Theatre
"John Patrick Shanley's Savage in Limbo... is a superbly performed show, and offers a strong finish to the Studio's season. Much of that immediacy can be credited to the focused and intense talent in the five person show, directed by first-year doctoral student Jennifer Goff" - The Dearborn Times-Herald - Review: Savage in Limbo - Wayne State University Studio Theatre
"And see it for Tromsness’s performance, a comedic triumph that, as directed by Jennifer Goff (another talented Greenville actress), brings a messy sense of reality to this finely nuanced – especially for a sometimes farcical play –
portrait of a quintessential Manhattan single woman who is much more real, and more sympathetic, than the stars of HBO’s Sex and the City." - Metrobeat - Review: Bad Dates - The Warehouse Theatre
"I have never (never!) heard an audience become so invested in a play. I am accustomed to The Excessively Loud Individual who annoys the rest of the patrons with his demonstrative responses. The Learned Ladies was my first experience with an entire audience hooting, howling, groaning, yelling at the characters (and at each other), clapping in the middle of scenes, and laughing with abandon." - Ubertati - Review: The Learned Ladies - The Distracted Globe
"...gorgeously designed, directed, and performed." - WSU Outreach - Review: The Arabian Nights - Wayne State University Bonstelle Theatre
"In this Bonstelle production, directed by WSU PhD candidate Jennifer Goff, we are treated to a colorful, over-the-top show...The show is funny. Surprisingly so. And the huge Bonstelle cast is just wonderful. With each new story that Scheherezade tells, the ensemble brings it to life." - The Examiner - Review: The Arabian Nights - Wayne State University Bonstelle Theatre
"We're still talking about last night's performance of 'To Kill a Mockingbird', at the Performing Arts Center, Frostburg State University. The spot-on casting and life-like set had us stepping back in time to 1930s Alabama. The stage adaptation by Christopher Sergel, and directed by Jennifer Goff, is a wonderful, and timely ode to author Harper Lee... Be sure to grab a ticket before they're gone." - Children's Literature Centre - Review: To Kill a Mockingbird - Frostburg State University

Acting
"Perhaps the play's best work is that of Jennifer Ann Goff, who nicely portrays the naive, sheltered ex-novice." - The Oregonian - Review: Nice People Dancing to Good Country Music - Paula Productions
"Goff performs masterfully in the one-woman play. [...] Goff's conversational tone is engaging and honest; she makes you feel like a close friend with whom she shares - almost - everything. She takes the audience on an intimate roller coaster of emotions that feels more personal and real than should be possible when attending a play." - The Advocate Messenger - Review: Bad Dates - Scarlet Cup Theatre Company
"But as much as the subplots and supporting cast bubbles and sizzles, this could not be a really good Shrew without a memorable, and sparklingly compatible, Katherine and Petruchio. And in Jennifer Goff and Jason M. Shipman, this production brings us an unforgettable couple with real stage chemistry. What's harder is to portray the sexual frisson that also erupts between the two. But Goff and Shipman make it palpable." - George Kanzler - Horizon Music Critic at Large - Review: The Taming of the Shrew - The Distracted Globe
"And Jennifer Goff is wonderfully droll as a Uriah Heepishly meek, buttoned-down embezzler/killer." - The Beat - Review: Reckless - The Warehouse Theatre
"Of course, it's the widow on stage he wants; she's the real gem of Anne Kelly Tromsness's production. In the mourning Popova, Jennifer Goff accomplishes something breathtaking: a believable vaudevillian performance. The exaggerated poses and gestures are guaranteed to get you laughing, but you won't for a moment doubt that Popova is a real person - a real person that you love and cheer for, despite her 'making a scene at you.'" - The Revenant Culture - Review: The Bear - The Distracted Globe
"...and the idea of marriage is impaled on the sharp tip of logic. The latter deed is done by the play's clever, brainy heroine Beatrice - wonderfully played by Jennifer Goff." - Greenville News - Review: Much Ado About Nothing - Upstate Shakespeare Festival
"The 'distracted' players' timing, tempo and rhythm are spot-on. And by the time the guests bolt for the door, you have laughed so hard you have to come up for air. When you do, you jump up and applaud." - The Greenville News - Review: Hay Fever- The Distracted Globe
"All the actors do some nice work and are quite obviously having a great time with the physical and verbal humor of the show. Among the standout performers are John Knauss and Jennifer Goff, who hold their own as Benedick and Beatrice." - Metrobeat - Review: Much Ado About Nothing - Upstate Shakespeare Festival
"Other delightful performances come from Jennifer Goff as Peep-Bo and Holly Schauer as Pitty-Sing, who produce some archly funny moments." - The Oregonian - Review: The Mikado - Mock's Crest Productions
"That fawning leads to a hilarious scene with company director Zorah (Jennifer Goff) playing the lubricious vamp in a parody of theatrical seduction." - The Beat - Review: Inspecting Carol - The Warehouse Theatre
"The high level of acting by the supporting cast of Jennifer Goff, Rick Connor, Nick Simon, Lauren Dykes, Jennifer Weinreich, David Ryan and J.M. Shipman helps the play succeed at every level." - The Greenville News - Review: Reckless - The Warehouse Theatre
