“…a pioneer of the storytelling renaissance, one of America’s foremost storytellers.”
- Jimmy Neil Smith, Founder & Director, International Storytelling Center

“It’s a summer night in Philadelphia, and 20,000 people are seated on quilts or blankets before a large outdoor stage. A hush falls over the crowd as Connie Regan-Blake steps up to the microphone and, in a low, melodic voice says, ‘I’d like to tell you a story…’ and the audience is mesmerized.”
- Good Housekeeping

“Connie’s voice, melodious and rhythmic, crafts words into stories like master quilters piecing fabric into well chosen design.”
- Laugh Makers Variety Arts Magazine

“None of us could have been more surprised or moved by the awesome power of a simple story. Not a cough or sigh wrinkled the air as Regan-Blake’s hands stirred the liquid attention of the crowd. When she finished, she smiled at everyone and took a deep breath and released them from their thrall into ecstatic applause.”
- Taos Storytelling Festival, The Taos News

“We would love to see Connie back in this country again.”
- Glistening Waters Storytelling Festival, New Zealand
