"To say Dolores tells a story is like saying Renoir painted. Dolores Hydock sings the story; she dances the story; she becomes the characters - and she absolutely pulls you into the action until you find yourself a part of the story."
-- MagicCityMoments.com


"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."
--Bettye Boyd, audience member


"Heartwarming tales
of wit and intelligence..."
--Mary Colurso, Birmingham News


 

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


"A roller coaster ride for the heart!"
--Natalie Jones, storyteller
