 INTO THE WOODSSaint Vincent Summer Theatre "Daina Michelle Griffith's Baker's Wife is a perfect balance between comedy and drama, keeping genuine heart in a character who can, all too often, become the frustrated sitcom wife." Greg Kerestan, Broadway World |  |  The Last Match"One of the great pleasures of Pittsburgh theater is seeing Robin Abramson and Daina Michelle Griffith onstage...Griffith brings her fierce intelligence to the role and can play sublimated heartbreak like nobody's business." Ted Hoover, City Paper |

 THE MOTHERF**KER WITH THE HATBarebones "Playing Ralph's wife, Daina Michelle Griffith is, as usual, a fascinating actress." Ted Hoover, Pittsburgh City Paper |  A Servant to Two MastersPittsburgh Public Theater "Daina Michelle Griffith scores laughs and pro-feminist applause as saucy maid, Smeraldina." Isaac Crow, Pittsburgh in the Round |  BLITHE SPIRITPICT Classic Theatre "Griffith's Ruth is spectacular. The actor immerses herself in the role. It's little wonder why the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette crowned her Performer of the Year in 2013." Michael Buzzelli, 'Burgh Vivant |
 JACQUES BREL IS ALIVE AND WELL AND LIVING IN PARISPICT Classic Theatre "Griffith has such a distinct voice, smooth and comforting while singing the more somber songs but that same voice will slap you in the face when she lays into a power ballad. She just kills it in 'My Death'" Mara E. Nadolski, Pittsburgh Stage Magazine |  AMADEUSPittsburgh Public Theater "Daina Michelle Griffith has a similar breadth in the smaller role of Mozart's canny wife, Constanze, ranging from sexual provocateur to victim." Christopher Rawson, Pittsburgh Post Gazette |  THE ZERO HOURoff the WALL "Griffith excels in her multiple roles, getting things right, right down to the accents she’s required to pull off. She also has an ear for comedy, timing her lines just right and hitting the mark on appropriate gestures that are downright chuckle inducing." Dave Zuchowski, Pittsburgh Owl Scribe |
 COMPANYPittsburgh Public Theater "...with stand-outs Daina Michelle Griffith and Dan Krell as the pot smoking Jenny and David; Griffith extends her range once again." Ann Miner, Talkin' Broadway |  PARADEFront Porch Theatricals "The show's real star is Daina Michelle Griffith, whose dynamic awakening as Frank's wife, Lucille, creates a flurry of action and hope. Griffith's Lucille is fearless and focused on winning her husband's freedom." Alice Carter, Pittsburgh Tribune Review |  ALL MY SONSThe REP, Pittsburgh Playhouse "Interesting, what propels the show's drama and growing tension is Griffith's performance as Ann Deever." Alice Carter, Pittsburgh Tribune Review |
 JOHN GABRIEL BORKMANQuantum Theatre "Ms. Griffith commands the stage with such egotistical insolence that you just can't dislike her as perhaps you should..." Christopher Rawson, Pittsburgh Post Gazette |  THE LAST FIVE YEARSJewish Theatre of Pittsburgh "You're not going to find performances like these for, at least, the next five years. Bravo." Ted Hoover, Pittsburgh City Paper |  SMALL ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRSoff the WALL "This performance was so memorable, I am ranking it up there as one of the performances I will never, ever forget." Lonnie "The Theatre Lady", 'Burgh Vivant |
 Next To NormalCarrnivale Theatrics "Griffith turned my heart inside out nearly two years ago, in Quantum Theatre's When The Rain Stops Falling, so she had her own tough act to follow last night, but she did not let me down. Daina's Diana doesn't so much run the gamut of emotions as she runs a gauntlet of them--careening from funny to tragic to sexy to deranged to no-nonsense like a bumper-car ride that never shuts off." Chris Rosella, Boring Pittsburgh |  CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATIONPittsburgh Public Theater "Daina Michelle Griffith shows us the feeling soul trapped inside a gaudy, flirtatious castle." Christopher Rawson, Pittsburgh Post Gazette |  HOW THE OTHER HALF LOVESPICT Classic Theatre "Griffith wonderfully mixes grace and comedy. She is a sophisticated vamp, and a funny one. Watching Griffith suffer through Frank's tedious presence is to marvel at an actress who can roll her eyes--with her whole body." Tom Scanlon, Pittsburgh Tribune Review |
 LOOKING FOR THE PONYoff the WALL "Daina Michelle Griffith and Karen Baum as stepsisters Oisie and Lauren evoke movingly sympathetic moments of tenderness, determination and despair." Bob Hoover, Pittsburgh Post Gazette |
