Dr. Dorothy shares her heartfelt message about looking within for the dreams you always had, but didn't pursue—those long-lost hopes that are barely an ember anymore. After being a business professor for 25 years, Dr. Dorothy followed her own long-lost dream of being in the theater and wrote a lecture that had singing. Response was so great, she was asked to present it all over the world. Gradually it morphed into a one-woman theatrical event and then a four-woman musical, and Dr. Dorothy quit her full-time academic career to pursue this new goal, going through her entire life savings in five years. Just when she was thinking she couldn't sustain it anymore emotionally or financially, she tried one more thing: fly the whole cast from Nashville to South Florida, rent a theater, and invite producers and directors. Out of that, she got two producers interested. It was April 2004. By May there was a contract, in June rehearsals started, and in July the show started. Within weeks it was a sold-out hit in a commercial theater, running ever since in 12 cities, with 2000 performances and over 500,000 audience members. Dr. Dorothy has learned a lot about goals, planning, focus and persistence. She will share what she's learned and help you to chase your own passion. |
