Recently Lisa designed the settings for the New School production of Bernard Shaw’s “Arms and the Man” and the Neighborhood Playhouse production of Thornton Wilder’s “The Happy Journey” and “The Long Christmas Dinner”. She writes in part, from 42 Jane Street, in New York City: “Actually these Wilder plays don’t require scenery, but Berghof, the director, wants to do them differently than they are usually done: there will be some indication of time and place of action by use of the pictorial… I met Clifford Odets the other day. He talked very excitedly about Black Mountain College and showed me all the notes he had made while visiting there…..”
