At the age of fifteen, DOROTHY SINCLAIR made her professional debut as a monologist with her own adaptation of Rudolf Steiner's play, The Barretts of Wimpole Street. Her voice was by now a familiar one on Chicago radio where she could be heard performing in Soaps and on Commercials.
 
Her radio career continued at The University of Wisconsin at Madison, where she worked to abolish her "Chicago accent" before receiving her Bachelor's Degree in Speech and Drama.
 
Upon graduation, Dorothy moved to New York City, studying with the famed German director, Erwin Piscator, at the New School. In California, throughout the 'sixties, Sinclair continued performing one-woman shows based mainly on plays and novels. She still gets requests for her adaptation of So It Was Just A Simple Wedding, a comedy about a mother of the bride, that just never seems to become outdated.
 
While studying for a Masters Degree in theatre from UCLA, she became a student of Holocaust Drama, producing and co-starring in Throne of Straw, the tragedy of the Lodz Ghetto. By now Sinclair decided she had had enough solo performing, and joined Theatre Forty in 1983. There she has essayed a number of rewarding roles including Dorothy in Twigs, Sophie in Social Security and Maman in Uncle Vanya.
 
Not until ROSE has Ms. Sinclair found the vehicle that she describes as a "perfect fit." "The character of the feisty Rose resonates with me like no other. We were born at roughly the same time though I had the good fortune to be raised in Chicago rather than a shtetl. With Martin Sherman's beautiful play, I feel as though I have come full circle"
