A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM (2009)
Timothy J. Cox, outstanding as the teddy bear-like Peter Quince. Michael Dietz Film and Theatre Reviews
The company of Players, led by Timothy J. Cox as a wonderfully realized Peter Quince, are a lively group of clowns that had me laughing all the way to the very end. Joseph Arthur Clay, BlogCritics
Next up are the mechanicals, a ragged bunch of actor-wannabes, provide a far less romantic brand of comedy than the lovers. Lead by Timothy J. Cox as Peter Quince, whose power is often usurped by the dramatic Nick Bottom, played by Chris Kateff, this is about the sorriest band of crude actors with the biggest hearts anyone could ask for. The performance of Pyramus and Thisbe in the last scene of the play--always a highlight of any production--is spot on campy, ridiculous and completely honest. David Rigano Theatre Reviews
Then there are the mechanicals. As led by Chris Kateff’s gloriously ridiculous Bottom, they are anything but common folk. All of them – Timothy J. Cox as the hapless director Peter Quince, Andrew Ash as Flute, Charlotte Layne Dunn as Starveling, Miriam Mintz as Snout and Timothy Williams as Snug (complete with tiny bear companion) – under- and over-play beautifully, making their appearances seem too few, and too brief. Hannah Marie Ellison, BlogCritics
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING (2009)
One wants to despise Timothy J. Cox’s’ otherwise jolly Leonato for his willingness to believe the worst about his daughter and only child, but Cox too well conveys his bewilderment and grief as well as his contempt. He can’t help that he lives in a time when an unmarried woman’s virginity was the sum total of her worth. Arlene McKanic, YourNabe.com
Timothy Cox is similarly dynamic as Leonato, the cheerful, generous governor who is deceived into turning on his daughter. Willow Belden, Queens Chronicle
Timothy J. Cox plays Leonato as a Donald Trump-type host straight out of The Apprentice, a man used to the spotlight. Cox shows his wide range, from the happy-go-lucky Hugh Hefner-like master-of-the-house to the conflicted father, forgetting the cameras, eyes brimming with tears as the laughs turn to the horror before him. Nick Leshi, BlogCritics.com
The always genial and gregarious Timothy J. Cox. Hannah Marie Ellison, BlogCritics.com
AS YOU LIKE IT (2009)
Timothy Cox, who plays both the teddy-bear-like banished duke and his hard-nosed, usurping brother, transitions skillfully between the two roles. Willow Belden, Queens Chronicle
In an inspired act of casting, the roles of the usurping Duke Frederick and his vanquished brother Duke Senior are played by the versatile Timothy J. Cox. He does a splendid job of making each unique and memorable. Watching him alter his appearance from the Napoleonic rigidity of Frederick to the more relaxed and bouncy Senior is a revelation. As the tyrannical Duke Frederick, Mr. Cox embodies a stiff, stern, and severe posture, switch in hand, barking at those around him. As Duke Senior, even though he has lost his title and earthly possessions to his traitorous brother, Mr. Cox renders him with arms wide, ready to embrace not only his fellow Forest renegades, but also the world around him. Duke Senior’s loss turns out to be his blessing. Nick Leshi, BlogCritics.com
ARSENIC AND OLD LACE (2009)
The scene-stealers were Danny Mittermeyer, superb as the murderous and sadistic Jonathan Brewster, and the always top-notch Timothy J. Cox, magnificent as Dr. Einstein. Both actors exploded on to the stage at the end of Act I and set the tone and pace for the remainder of the show, playing off each other like a seasoned acting duo. Hannah Marie Ellison, BlogCritics.com
TWO DETECTIVES (2008)
The production did feature a gallery of strong performances from the supporting cast...Timothy J. Cox delivered an explosive turn as Jacob Lasky. Hannah Marie Ellison, BlogCritics.com
12TH NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (2007)
As Sirs Toby and Andrew, Timothy J. Cox and Benjamin Ellis Fine are fantastic aloof fools, giggling and gamboling amidst the bloody scene. Samantha O'Brien, OffOffOnline.com
Director John Hurley’s cast is frighteningly game. Jason Zinoman, The New York Times
Each member of the ensemble cast is top notch, all looking like they're having the time of their lives, but favorites are definitely Timothy J. Cox and Benjamin Ellis Fine, driving the show with superlative comic performances as Sir Toby (he also has the play's most memorable death scene) and Sir Andrew, respectively. Hannah Marie Ellison, BlogCritics.com
A JARFUL OF FIREFLIES (2007)
Rich performances...Eben French Mastin and Timothy J. Cox are hilarious as bickering, chess-playing old coots who treat being extras in the movie as a chance to refight the Civil War. Rich Copley, Lexington Herald
The ensemble attacks the material...Curmudgeonly old coots Charlie and Roy (Eben French Mastin and Timothy J. Cox) spend their days fighting over the rules of checkers and debating whether the Civil War was a war of rebellion or a war of Northern aggression. Marty Rosen, Louisville Courier
THE ODD COUPLE (2007)
Manolo (Aaron Rustebakke) and Jesus (Timothy J. Cox), larger than life as two suave, debonair, over-eager, manic, sex-crazed, completely goofy Spanish brothers. It's hard not to laugh at their genial, wide-smiling faces. Ross Johnson, Danville Advocate Messenger
SERVANT OF TWO MASTERS (2007)
The cast is nothing short of exceptional, and - dare I say? - the best I've seen at any Pioneer Playhouse production. Honestly, there isn't a weak link among them, and each has a unique gift to bring to the table. Charlie Cox, Danville Advocate Messenger
BABE (2007)
Timothy J. Cox is delightfully porcine as the title character. Ross Johnson, Danville Advocate Messenger
THE MIRACLE WORKER (2007)

MEASURE FOR MEASURE (2004)
Timothy J. Cox added delightful touches in a variety of roles, playing the neurotic Froth and the benevolent Friar Peter with relish but was especially memorable in his hilarious turn as the cigarette smoking, Colt 45 swilling prisoner Barnadine. R.K. Braugher, TheatreScene.net
In the second act, the comedic elements were much stronger with Timothy Cox as a boisterous prisoner who guzzled ale even as he was being dragged away to be executed for his lechery. Charles Battersby, OOBR.com
Timothy J. Cox gives a riotous interpretation as a drunken biker, complete with outlandish tattoos. The Queens Courier
THE CAT AND THE MOON (2003)
It was a joy watching Tim Cox's powerful performance as the wise saint on his final journey. Short and wiry, with a grizzled beard, ratty top hat and a twisted, mischievous grin, Cox's saint is a lovable old leprechaun...endearing and exuberant. James Wenz, My8By10.com
The scene stealing Tim Cox. Joyce C. Bowden, Litas Theatre.com
As the Saint, Tim Cox intervenes with a zaniness and sympathy, yielding unexpected results. Carlo Fiorletta, Stage Press Weekly
Dynamic on stage -- exuberant and energetic. Seth Bisen-Hersh, OOBR.com
THREE RIVERS (2003)
As Andrew, Tim Cox gave a subtle and powerful performance, dominating every scene he was in by his glowing presence and unflinching honesty. David Brierly, My8by10.com
KEROUAC (2003)
Passionate...Compelling...Tim Cox brought a sad, world-weariness to his portrayal of a writer in search of the Kerouac legend. His aging writer wants nothing more than to spend the rest of his days going for the quick buck. Cox embodied his character's subtleties and contradictions so expertly that he seemed to disappear into the role.
TheatreMania
There is a competition between the writers, the young, idealistic (John Kwiatkowksi) who pleads with the older, wizened (Tim Cox) to present the complete picture of Kerouac, as an imperfect man who lived and loved. Their performances and interaction help move the plot along. Jack Quinn, TheatreScene.net
Tim Cox and John Kwiatowski do yeoman service as, respectively, Writer No. 1 and Writer No. 2. Joseph Hurley, Irish Echo
A SOLDIER’S DEATH (2002)

JACK KEROUAC- LAST CALL (2002)
Tim Cox is dynamic. CitySearch
Tim Cox and John Kwiatkowski worked well together; their contrast and timing matched a perfect beat. Jeff Goldstein, Stage Press Weekly
The two journalists seem to be parts of his alter ego. One wants to capture the legend and the other desperately wants to find "Jack Kerouac" the man, adeptly played by Tim Cox and Michael Mercandetti respectively. One wants a juicy story, while the other wants more to get inside Jacks head. Ron Sanborn, New England Entertainment Digest Review
(Tim) Cox and (Michael) Mercandetti comically kept everything in context as the obituary writers. Elias Stimac, OOBR.com

BELMONT AVENUE SOCIAL CLUB (2000)

Their crudeness, prejudices and hopes are so understandable, given their membership in this social group that one can only laugh wryly at the views they hold of themselves and their fellow men. Holley R. Webster, The Swarthmorean
Tim Cox captures his character's calculating intelligence, ambition, impatience and ease with politically correct speech. Margie Royal, Press Focus
