She and long-time collaborator, director Tyrone Guthrie, launched theaters in Stratford, Ontario; Sheffield, England, and the Guthrie in Minneapolis, which galvanized the regional-theater movement. They inspired others such as the Vivian Beaumont at Lincoln Center in New York City and the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles.

In addition to designing stages, Moiseiwitsch did costumes and sets for operas, including a 1985 Metropolitan Opera production of "La Traviata." Her costumes appeared on such stars as Laurence Olivier, Alec Guinness and John Gielgud.
