She curated the long-running "Movies with Live Soundtracks" series and toured with "Bird Songs of the Bauharoque," a two-woman puppet operetta starring her alter-egos, Lady Longarms and Madame von Temper Tantrum, as well as the alter-ego of Becky Stark, who is Marro's other half in the band Lavender Diamond.[1] In her spare time she works as the Managing Director of Providence Not-for-Profit arts organization AS220. She graduated from Brown University in Art/Semiotics.[2][3]

Marro is described by the Providence Phoenix as a "puppet-maker and projectionist steeped in the underground."[4]
