Several years ago, Dorothy left her full-time academic position at Vanderbilt University to devote herself to playwriting. She turned her RESPECT book into a musical, tracing women's development through Top-40 music, which has played in 20 cities. Last year she debuted the musical, TERMS OF DISMEMBERMENT, a dark comedy about a financially strapped mother who is forced to sell her daughter's body parts. Her newest musical, which opened in New York in summer of 2011 is SISTAS, the story of African-American women through popular music.
Dorothy Marcic started her career in the arts as a production assistant on the TV program, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, while in college. She has appeared on C-SPAN, CMT, and Bravo Network.
