"There was a man sitting behind me at Dolores' story concert. He was fussing because his wife forced him to come along, and he didn't want to be there. At intermission, he told me that he had never experienced anything like it. HE LOVED IT. Of course, I don't remember him telling that to his wife." --Betty Boyd, audience member
"Heartwarming tales of wit and intelligence..." --Mary Colurso, Birmingham News
"When our president asked me for my suggestions for our banquet, I had only two: First, I wanted Dolores to be our speaker, and second, I wanted chocolate roulage for dessert. Dolores' story was the highlight of the banquet. The roulage was pretty good, too." --V. G. Marsh, program coordinator
Dolores Hydock storyteller and actress
"A stellar performer! ... Dolores' stories are smart but not cynical, heartwarming yet never corny, traditional without being mundane...a neat feat!"
--Mary Colurso, The Birmingham News
"Hydock talks with her hands. And her elbows. And her shoulders. When she speaks, she's literally irrepressible."
--Barrett Hathcock, Birmingham Weekly
"You are a very good storyteller!"
--Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
