"Dolores' stories are beautifully worded, energetically performed, and so entertaining. She's our group’s favorite program every year!"
-- Jeannine Burge, arts group program coordinator
"[This show] is an opportunity to see Dolores Hydock do
what she does so well -- bring characters to life on stage
that we care about so much by the time we leave the theater."
-- Alec Harvey, arts editor, Birmingham News
"Your summertime story series was mesmerizing;
the four stories were so powerful and powerfully told.
You’ve touched all of us by the passion you put into each story.
You took us to ancient places, and we loved the trip."
-- Jane Wilson, program sponsor
"We laughed, we cried, everyone there was touched
by at least one special story from your engaging repertoire."
-- Barbara Hill, library program coordinator
"Your lunchtime program was just the right blend
for our conference: both entertaining and thought-provoking.
It was a creative complement to the rest of our workshops,
and was in the top rankings of our attendee evaluations."
-- Nancy Martin, conference coordinator
"The stories you chose to go with our theme for the retreat
were 'right on.' Everyone is still talking about them --
just what I hoped would happen!"
-- Marian Bauer, retreat coordinator
"Half of our managers came to the second day of meetings
wearing the Wishing Rings you gave us. We were inspired
and entertained -- just what I wanted. You made me
look good for hiring you!"
-- Mark Renninger, meeting coordinator
"Our students asked to have you back again this year.
A whole year later, they're still talking about your presentation
at our fall orientation last September. For college kids,
that's really saying something!"
-- Gary Brittain, campus program coordinator
"We are getting rave reviews for your performance.
You are the first speaker I've ever booked who got a
standing ovation. I'm sorry I didn't get to see your presentation,
but I couldn't get into the room...it was full!"
-- Roberta Stratford, program coordinator
