Dolores Hydock

Dolores Hydock talks with her hands. And her elbows. And her shoulders. When she speaks, she is literally irrepressible." That's how one reviewer described Dolores' vivacious style that fills the stage with wit, energy, and a swirl of characters that populate her stories of family fireworks, food fads, true love, turnip greens, and other peculiarities of everyday life. Her award-winning personal stories, oral histories, medieval adventures, and traditional tales are, as one reviewer said, "...smart but not cynical, heartwarming yet never corny, traditional without being mundane...a neat feat!" Dolores has been a featured teller at the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough and many other festivals, has served as Teller-in-Residence at the International Storytelling Center, and has won Resource Awards from Storytelling World Magazine for her twelve CDs of original stories. It's a long story, but BECAUSE OF CAMP BETHEL, Dolores became close personal friends with Dr. Ruth. Yes, THAT Dr. Ruth. It's a long story.
