Biographical SketchDorothy Marcic

Dr. Marcic is a playwright, professor at Columbia University, and a former professor at Vanderbilt University's Owen Graduate School of Management. She was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Economics-Prague, teaching MBA students and practicing managers.

She served as advisor to the US Ambassador of the Czech Republic and was a delegate to both the United Nations Economic and Social Develop Summit in Copenhagen and the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Her degrees include a Bachelors in Radio-TV-Film, a Masters in Educational Media, another Masters in Public Health and a Doctorate in Organizational Behavior. She is the author of 12 books, including the best-selling Understanding Management, Managing with the Wisdom of Love, RESPECT: Women and Popular Music, and the recent Love Lift Me Higher.

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.
