She has worked in summer stock, regional theater, community theater, television, feature film, new media, and on roster of an NYC modeling agency. She is forever grateful to Cole Weston for casting her as Rosasharn in the stage adaptation of John Steinbeck's 'The Grapes of Wrath'. Although, at that time, he considered her too old for the role. But his wife Paulette convinced him otherwise. At the end of the Play's run, Cole told Lisa he could not have envisioned anyone else in the role. Anyone else who could have carried the Second Act and left the audiences gasping, silenced. He was so glad that he had listened to his wife!
