"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Don Doyle on a storytelling project involving students, teachers, and parents in a complex of schools in our district. Don was a star with all three groups of people. I was so charmed by Don's expertise and love for storytelling, that I participated in the storytelling program for parents in the evenings and gained experience, knowledge, and confidence, and loved every minute of it. Storytelling is a personal experience that you never forget!"

"He's a charmer! When Don Doyle submerges himself into the role of a literary Pied Piper, young listeners are led into a world of magic through rich interpretations of cultural tales. As a regular offering of artistic programs in the Mesa district, Don keeps students, teachers and parents spellbound as he spins his yarns."

"What a worthwhile and exciting addition to our entertainment schedule of programs! The absorbing storytelling by Don Doyle was by far the best program we had all year. When his artistic event of storytelling was over he got us involved with activities that helped us focus on our own personal stories. We're still telling them to each other and our families. Dr. Doyle will be an anticipated annual event on our entertainment schedule for our retirement community."
Dale Johnson, Phoenix, Arizona

"Don Doyle is a master storyteller and a master teacher. He brings an excitement about oral traditions that reinforces classroom language activities; he also skillfully and generously shares his craft and teaching methodologies of storytelling and creative drama with teachers. Teachers and students find his performances and workshops delightful, funny, sad, joyful, and inspiring."

"The students and faculty of the School of the Arts extend their gratitude for your residency at the University of Colorado at Denver. Your generosity, virtuosity and your genuine concern for our students as artists and as people were deeply appreciated by all who attended your workshops and performances. I was grateful for the afternoon I spent in the storytelling workshop. Through a series of seemingly simple exercises, everyone in the room gained greater personal insight and realized just how interesting and riveting our own stories can be. The guided imagery exercise with which you concluded workshop was a revelatory and moving experience."
Mark Alan Heckler, Director
School of the Arts, University of Colorado at Denver

"Don Doyle's style and stage presence are unequaled! I've seen audiences of adults and children brought to tears of sorrow and joy at his command. It is a moving, captivating experience to watch him at work. Don has my endorsement as one of the finest world class storytellers in our country today."
