Lighting and production designer Peggy Clark and Elizabeth Montgomery (a member of the three-person, theatrical design collective known as “Motley”) designed the scenic productions for Agnes de Mille Dance Theatre’s national tour in 1953 and 1954. The tour encompassed more than one hundred cities. Agnes de Mille (1905–1993) was one of the foremost American choreographers of the twentieth century and worked with Clark in productions of Brigadoon, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and Paint Your Wagon. This production design was created for de Mille’s Dances from the Golden Era (1953).
