She married, raising two children before taking a graduate degree in theatre from Villanova University and starting to write plays. She has also taught English at the G. W. Carver High School for Engineering and Science in Philadelphia.
Marian X's 1987 play "Wet Carpets" was a comedy with music about three women raised as sisters who go through mid life crisis. It was chosen by the Crossroads Theatre Company as the premiere production in 1988 for their New Play Rites series.
