What Folks Are Saying --
comments about my storytelling |
|

"Stories with Terry always mean mercurial energy and mischievous merriment!"

"Terry Rollins is, importantly, not only a storyteller, but a generous enabler of other people's stories. He is a skilled organizer, uplifting encourager, and exquisite listener.
This makes him a part of Storytelling with a capital 'S', and not just a teller of his own tales."
Donald Davis

"Terry Rollins is one of our premiere storytellers. His verbal artistry, his consummate physical and vocal expressiveness, and his sincerity as a teller make him a true 'storyteller's storyteller'. Not only is Terry a stellar performer, but a deft educator as well. His workshops are engaging, fun, and truly instructive. His gentle humor, his superb role modeling as a teller, and his vast store of knowledge about all aspects of storytelling make his workshops among the best I've attended."
Carole Tallant, Ph.D.

"Terry Rollins is dedicated to preserving the tales that have been passed down through the generations, and, at the same time, carves new paths by reinventing himself with innovative programs to fit diverse audiences. I have seen Terry hold his audience in the palm of his hand with a beloved Jack Tale. I have held my breath in anticipation as he becomes the deck mate aboard Blackbeard's ship. And, I have been brought to tears of laughter as Terry took me back to his childhood encounter with whipped cream. Terry does not simply tell a story, he becomes the story -- something you don't find in every storyteller."
