“I will admit that, prior to your performance I was questioned by several people about whether a storyteller could hold the attention of 1800 rambunctious teenagers. You not only held their attention, you developed a personal connection with that large audience. They played along when you invited them to. They listened intently when you challenged them to. And they laughed or cried out loud when the stories moved them. I thank you for sharing your special talent as an artist with us!”

~ Mark A. Kaetzer
Executive Director
Illinois High School Theatre Festival

“Sue O’Halloran gave a wonderful storytelling performance at our church last fall. People didn’t know exactly what to expect especially since the subject matter was race. But Sue’s performance put people at ease. She was really able to connect with the audience by getting everyone involved and making it a fun and educational experience. As the event organizer, I really appreciated Sue’s professionalism and preparation. It was truly a pleasure working with her.”

~ Michael Rabbitt,
St. Mary of the Woods Peace and Justice Committee

“Sue has performed often with our workshop on racism and ethnic sensitivity. Those who have heard her really appreciate her stories. When we had a unity rally in May, Sue was our featured storyteller. All eyes were on her as through her story she taught those there the importance of building bridges. Thank you, Sue, in the role you play in helping people of many cultures appreciate one another.”

~Sister Lois Prebil,
Ethnic Sensitivity Workshops,
Archdiocese of Chicago

“Sue O’Halloran is a gifted story-teller. In her one-woman show, Dividing Lines: The Education of a Chicago White Girl in 10 Rounds, she has taken the sensitive and emotionally charged issue of racism and woven a story of family, life and the struggle for racial harmony that touches the hearts and souls of all people. Susan challenges us to find the answer that is so desperately needed to break down, once and for all, the wall of racial hatred and fear that keeps us from living together as members of the human race.”

~Sister Anita Baird,
Director of the Archdiocese
Office for Racial Justice

Incredible! Amazing! Insightful! Sue’s personal warmth and caring passion brought out the stories within us. She gave us the creative tools, inspiration and encouragement we needed.
